Le Monde crisis as journalists vote down the editor

The immediate future of Le Monde has been plunged into uncertainty after its journalists voted to oust Jean-Marie Colombani, the Paris-based paper's editorial figurehead and the chief executive of its parent company. Colombani needed the positive backing of 60% of his journalists in order to remain in his post for the next six years. But he received only 48.49% support and the "no" vote was 46.68%. (Via FT.com)
