“MOVING ON: Is one top-level music journalist about to leave a high-visibility post due to newsroom cutbacks? Inquiring minds want to know where said journo might be headed next.” I’d ask “so, which news outlet is making cutbacks on the editorial side?” but the answer “uh, all of them?” isn’t all that helpful toward the end of figuring out the item. (And remember, folks, you might want to temper any schadenfreude you might feel as you reel off a list of potential candidates, as the word “cutbacks” doesn’t exactly imply that said old-guard member is going to be replaced.) (I know, I know, I’m a total fun-sucker. But it’s true!) [Hits]
