My editor at LAist, Tony Pierce, is heading to the LA Times. Great news for him and great news for the LA Times. He'll be heading up all the blogs (even Jacket Copy with their one post a week!) and it will be fascinating to see someone from blogland manage such a large, corporate group of blogs. Breath of fresh air, anyone?
The LA Times has hired quite a few LAist writers this year. I'd say I should cross my fingers, but no one's calling for yet another book blogger. A shame, indeed. No word yet on who our new editor will be. Into the fray we go...
