Douglas Hired: Promoted To Factotum

Sarah Anchorage

Flain Douglas, an unpaid intern at the Sioux City Pre-Intelligencer since 2010, has accepted a salaried position at the journal.

Sarah Anchorage, Second Assistant Editor-in-Chief, made the announcement Thursday after close-of-business.

In addition to his current responsibilities, Douglas will head the P-I's new fact-checking service, carrying the title of "Factotum".

Anchorage commented on Douglas' new assignment:

"I'm very pleased that Flain understands how important his new position is to me.  I plan to work even more closely with him in future, and have moved his desk to a spot outside my office door.

"Unfortunately, Flain will not have the personal resources to finish his investigative work on the Bogo case.  His time will be in great demand, and priority calls need to be made."
