Bland, Limon out at Coloradoan

It's unclear what the progressive implications of this are. On the one hand, the Coloradoan has frequently championed the cause of large business interests, sometimes at the expense of the individual voters and taxpayers.

I guess we'll have to wait and see who the new publisher is...

City editor Pat Ferrier will take on Limon's former responsibilities as interim executive editor, Abe said. The newspaper hopes to name a new publisher as early as tomorrow, she said.
