Mrs. Kathy Wilkerson will assume a coordinator’s position at the soon-to-be re-engineered Monroe, News Star according to well placed sources in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana.
Like Gannett’s Hattiesburg, MS, American is to its Jackson, MS, Clarion Ledger, the News Star is scheduled during the next calendar year to be down-sized to just a bureau of the much more important Shreveport Times.
It’s sad for Ken Stickney, who is really running the News Star day and night while Mrs. Wilkerson and her hubby are doing the North Side Monroe social scene, most recently in ULM’s Brown Hall Row I for the Tom Friedman talk. He will probably be down-sized as well after the publisher who delayed his long over due retirement finally departs N. 4th Street. It’s a second smack down for him.
Maybe after the dust settles, Ken and Kathy can get on the Louisiana State Teat with their spouses at Delta Community College and the University of Louisiana Monroe, respectively.
