The WSJ covering NYC could be interesting, depending on whether its beat structure consists of Plutocrats and Their Pleasures, or actual investigative work.

I hope his new media venture is that he is going to revive WOOD WAR. #newyorkobserver

This sucks. Everyone I know/have talked to there genuinely enjoyed working with Tom and they product they put out. Considring the job he had (that of filling Peter Kaplan's shoes), this is pretty impressive. And now: sad. #newyorkobserver

Dig deeper. That bastard Kushner skinned McGeveran for a wedding gift and then canned him. #newyorkobserver

It's truly a shame (to me) that the Observer has become the paper it now is. It went from witty, irreverent and, yeah, sort of fun, to this glorified real estate and socialite pamphlet. Kushner has neutered the content to such an extent that I go straight to the crossword puzzle and then throw it away. And sidebar: you lose Andrew Sarris but keep Rex Reed? #newyorkobserver

McGeveran's hiring of Goran Cipel to cover the sports beat left Kushner with no other choice. #newyorkobserver

The extraordinary thing about the relationship between Kushner and McGeveran: neither of them even pretended to have much time or respect for the other. It's a testament to the misery of this economic downturn and the paucity of other options that they stayed hitched even this long. #newyorkobserver

@Nick Denton: It's not just McGeveran. There have been a number of unemployed senior editors talking to Kushner in recent months. #newyorkobserver

McGeveran, a popular boss, is leaving "to start a new business venture."

And by "new business venture," he means his sophomore year at Rutgers. #newyorkobserver
