‘Militant’ announces new editor
 
BY CINDY JAQUITH  
The Militant is taking steps to become a stronger voice for the working class in response to resistance by working people to the effects of the world capitalist crisis—from Madison, Wisconsin, to Keokuk, Iowa, and from Benghazi, Libya, to Manama, Bahrain.

Steve Clark has become editor of the paper and Paul Mailhot, who had been editor, is taking on responsibilities as the paper’s circulation director. These steps will strengthen the paper and help meet the widening opportunities to distribute the Militant at labor rallies, on picket lines, in working-class communities, and on campuses around the world.

Clark, a member of the Socialist Workers Party National Committee, was the Militant editor from 1977 to 1980, and again in 1995-96.

He has edited numerous Pathfinder Press books and is managing editor of New International magazine. Clark is one of the editors of the recently published book Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power by Jack Barnes.

Mailhot has edited the paper since early 2010. He is currently on his way to Cairo, Egypt, where he will organize an international team from the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Lebanon, and the United States that will sell subscriptions to the Militant and Pathfinder books at the Tahrir Book Fair. The March 31-April 3 fair takes place at Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, the center of the massive protests that forced the ouster of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak.

Angel Lariscy, who served as Militant business manager since 2008, is among the volunteers joining the Cairo team.
