In this week’s episode of Clark Talks, Columbian reporters Dameon Pesanti and Katie Gillespie sit down with retiring Columbian editor-in-chief Lou Brancaccio.
Brancaccio announced his retirement last week, and will now take on a role as editor emeritus, contributing a monthly Press Talk column and sitting on the Columbian’s editorial board.
There will be an open house for Brancaccio, whose last day is Feb. 17, on Saturday, Feb. 18. The open house will run from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Columbian at 701 W. Eighth St., Vancouver. The first 100 people in the door will get a “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” mug.
The pair also chat with features news coordinator Ashley Swanson to talk about what events are coming up this weekend.
