One bigshot Detroit Free Press manager isn’t waiting to find out if the paper wins a Pulitzer for its lynch, er, excuse me, coverage of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s travails.
He’s Executive Editor Caesar Andrews, a Gannett corporate implant brought to the Freep shortly after the McLean, Virginia-based chain bought the paper from longtime owner Knight-Ridder in August, 2005.
Andrews won’t have to wonder if his paper — Michigan’s oldest daily — will become a thrice-a-week tabloid.
He’s headed for the big door on West Lafayette.
Yes, the executive editor is taking a buyout, so I’ve been told by a well-connected insider.
