Earlier today, July 26, former Mountain Xpress ad man James Fisher announced via Twitter and Facebook that he’s been hired by the Asheville Citizen-Times, a Gannett publication:
I’m advertising manager at new [C-Times] weekly, Asheville Scene! Start next week, can’t wait!
.
Fisher, who most recently worked for WNC Magazine, is the second longtime Xpress staffer to get hired by the Citizen-Times.
