“As part of the staff cuts that the Denver Post has been required to make, the decision has been made to no longer have dedicated editorial staff on the Cannabist,” Alex Pasquariello, the site’s current editor, told Marijuana Business Daily.
The website, which was launched in 2013, will remain active, however.
Pasquariello said his position had been dissolved as of Friday. He added that the Denver Post will continue to cover cannabis and that Alicia Wallace, a Cannabist reporter, will continue to cover marijuana policy and business for the newspaper.
“This is pretty ruinous,” Ricardo Baca, the Cannabist’s previous editor, told MJBizDaily.
