Rowell Resigns From World-Herald

Omaha World-Herald columnist Rainbow Rowell is leaving the newspaper to take a copywriting job at Bailey Lauerman advertising agency.

Rowell, 33, has spent the past nine years writing three columns a week for the Midlands section. She got her start at the World-Herald as a college intern in 1994. She later worked for the Des Moines Register before returning to the World-Herald to be the paper's western Iowa reporter.

Her last column will appear in Sunday editions.
