Florida paper's editor stands down

The editor of the Florida Times-Union has suddenly resigned and the paper's managing editor has chosen to retire at the same time. Pat Yack has been editor of the paper, which sells 155,000 copies each weekday and 210,000 on Sundays, since 1998. The managing editor, Michael Richey, has been in his job almost as long. Frank Denton, vice president of journalism for the newspaper's parent company, Morris Communications, will serve as interim editor. (Via St Augustine Record)
