That sort of reorg will have us reorganizing our priorities about reading the AJC. John Kessler is one of the best food writers in the country. Your story shows the level of intelligence running the AJC. With so many layoffs, all the institutional memory is gone.

Damn — I’ve really been enjoying Kessler’s food writing. I wonder if there’s a chance he could continue the great food blog he’s had on the AJC site?

Zowie. What’s the big deal about Kessler? The AJC has a terrific dining critic: Her name is Meridith Ford. But it no longer has an art critic, a classical music critic, a theater critic or a movie critic. Say goodbye to Catherine Fox, Pierre Ruhe and Wendell Brock. And while we are at it: Bye-bye Drew Jubera, Jim Auchmutey, Phil Kloer and Moni Basu. Excellent writers, all. Zowie, indeed.

Oh to be the person who designs the reorg charts. They’ll always have a job.

what in the hell is going on over there? i give them 18 months, then the printed product will stop; they’ll be web-only (if they’re lucky…)
