Callinan’s rumored replacement may also be a familiar name to many.

Rick Green, executive editor of The Desert Sun, another Gannett newspaper, is a leading candidate, according to sources.

Callinan could not be reached for comment.

Green has called back from Sunny Southern California, but we’re playing phone tag.

Informed sources indicate an announcement will be made this afternoon regarding Callinan’s departure.

When his replacement will be named has not yet been able to be determined.
