DallasObserverCoverWe will never tire of journalists who frame career moves with a Hunter S. Thompson quote. After shifting over to American Airlines to oversee an in-house newspaper, Joe Pappalardo has joined Texas alt-weekly the Dallas Observer as editor.

Pappalardo also tells D magazine’s Tim Rogers that the Observer will need to rumble over his dead body if it wants to try and abandon print.
