The Clarion-Ledger, Mississippi Link and the City of Jackson are going ’round again in this new year over municipal public notice advertising. The two papers bid the same, but the city council rejected them and will re-advertise. Council prez Ben Allen says the bids were suspect since they were the same. And Mayor Frank Melton just doesn’t “feel comfortable doing business with people who are ugly to the city.”
Nanette Laster, a one-time intern and reporter for the Daily Star in Grenada, has returned to the afternoon paper as managing editor. She spent 15 years as managing editor of the Daily Leader in Brookhaven…Debbie Best, longtime advertising manager at the McComb Enterprise-Journal, is leaving the paper at the end of the month and renewing her real estate license. She told us this week she’ll be working through a local agency there soon…Nikki Davis Maute looks forward to retirement and back on many good times and 20 years as a reporter at the Hattiesburg American.
