E&P On Clay Bennett’s Big Move

Editor & Publisher follows up on the surprising announcement that Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Clay Bennett was going to leave his Christian Science Monitor position and take Bruce Plante's place at the Chattanooga Times Free Press on January 1. E&P notes that Bennett looks forward to the opportunities of a metro newspaper, such as doing cartoons on local issues, and that the paper plans on using him in color on Sunday and four times a week in black and white. I think that's a fairly huge hire in that a few people automatically figured that the Times Free Press wouldn't hire a cartoonist after Plante left, and it not only did so, it hired one of dozen biggest names in the business. Bennett notes that he believes CSM will hire a replacement for him, which might prove equally interesting.
