Jon Elliston, former managing editor of Mountain Xpress in Asheville, N.C., has received the backing of a John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Foundation research grant for his book on the civil-rights era attacks on Camp Summerlane, a biracial children's camp in the North Carolina mountains. Elliston left the paper last month in order to pursue the book full-time, a project which evolved from a series of articles he wrote for Xpress in 2008. When the stories first appeared, Elliston wrote that the series would “explore why and how it was that incensed adults from a tranquil mountain town laid siege to a camp full of children.” Two years later, he tells his former paper that he intends to use the grant to delve into the Kennedy Library’s Justice Department records of the attack.

Henry E. Scott, who joined Creative Loafing, Inc. as vice president and chief marketing officer in February, has been named the publisher of the company's Atlanta paper. He replaces Luann Labedz, who announced her departure in March, and will be the paper's eighth publisher in six years. "With the declining circulation of the city's only daily, and its decision to move its newsroom [outside the Perimeter], we have emerged as Atlanta's largest-circulation hometown newspaper," he says. "That means we have an even greater responsibility to Atlantans who want to learn how to make the most of life in this sophisticated and cosmopolitan city."

Posner, who was fired from the Daily Beast earlier this year for lifting material from the Miami Herald, has retained attorney and author Mark Lane "to prepare litigation against the Miami New Times for accusations about his journalism and interfering with his career as an author," according to a press release issued this morning.

"We're delighted to have Mr. Lane, an 83-year-old Jonestown survivor, involved," New Times editor Chuck Strouse tells AAN News in an email. "We clearly have nothing against Mr. Posner, though we despise his admitted serial plagiarism. New details on this egregious literary theft -- which is crystal clear -- will be published soon."
