ITHO: Trillhaase To Replace Fisher

The central figure in that bit of newspaper history was for many years Bill Hall , who started writing editorials at the Trib in 1965 and (with a short 18-month hiatus) kept at it till he retired in 2002. His successor was Jim Fisher , who’d written edits alongside Hall for many years and whose style significantly overlapped. Now Fisher is retiring, so a real question has been: Does financially-strapped Lewiston (which recently cut the editorial page staff from two to one) keep the tradition alive? Looks like it will, having just hired for the job Marty Trillhaase , who has been editorial editor at the Idaho Falls Post-Register/ Randy Stapilus , Ridenbaugh Press. More here .
