Billy Manes, the longtime political voice of Orlando Weekly (Facebook | Website), has announced his departure from the local alt weekly to become the new Editor at Watermark (Facebook | Website), a local bi-weekly publication that specializes in LGBT news in Tampa and Central Florida.
This is a major coup for Watermark, following the departure of their former Editor, Steve Blanchard.
Manes will be starting his new job in late June, which gives us less than a month to enjoy his live-blogging of City Council meetings.
Yay Billy! Love you!
Congratulations Watermark & Billy!
What a perfect match — was already missing Billy! Mazel Tov
How am I going to keep up with what’s happening with the city once Billy leaves the Weekly?
I hope they will stop publishing anti-gay conservative writers as legitimate alternative viewpoints.
