E&P has the story on why 1988 Pulitzer Prize editorial cartoonist Doug Marlette is interested in moving to the Oklahoma newsaper the Tulsa World.

One reason editorial cartoonist Doug Marlette is moving to the Tulsa World is because the Oklahoma newspaper is owned by a family rather than a chain.

“I like the idea that there’s a human aspect,” said Marlette, especially given that “it’s a harrowing time for political cartoonists” as jobs disappear.

He added that the World offers “terrific” coverage of its city, region, and state. “They take traditional journalism seriously,” commented Marlette, who said he wants to be part of that.
