Papa’s got a brand new boss. "Papa" being me, not that other guy. Which means that The State has a new publisher — or will soon have.

It was announced generally at 10 a.m. today in the newspaper’s atrium that Lou Heldman, president and publisher of the Wichita Eagle (where I worked from 1985 until I came here in 1987), will be replacing Ann Caulkins.

More about Lou, and about Ann’s plans, in later postings.
