Vancouver – An open house will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday in The Columbian’s newsroom for Editor Lou Brancaccio, who is stepping down from his daily duties on Saturday after more than 20 years with the newspaper.
Brancaccio, 66, recently announced he is retiring as editor but will assume the role of editor emeritus. His popular “Press Talk” column will now appear the first Saturday of every month.
The Columbian’s newsroom is located at 701 W. Eighth St., west of Esther Short Park. Parking is available in the lot just east of the building. The first 100 attendees will receive free “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” mugs.
