The City Pages is keeping a running tally<\/a> of the newsroom staffers at the Strib who’ve taken buyouts or are otherwise leaving or moving about\u00a0the paper.<\/p>\n

Stribbers taking the buyout:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric Black – this is a whack upside the head.\u00a0 Black was one of the good ones.
\nConrad Defiebre – this one, too.\u00a0 Defiebre actually had a track record as a journalist who could actually write the facts.
\nPat Pheifer
\nNancy Olsen
\nDoug Grow – bummer.\u00a0 Oh, I disagree with Grow about everything<\/em> – but he was a good reporters.\u00a0 Which was probably the undoing of his column; unlike Lileks and Katherine Kersten, he’d actually worked as a beat reporter, which I’m going to presume made it likely the paper would carry through on its threat to assign some of its general columnists back to street reporting.
\nSusie Hopper
\nLinda Mack
\nStormi Greener
\nChuck Haga
\nSharon Schmickle
\nJim Boyd – I’m almost sad about this.\u00a0 Jim Boyd was a walking, breathing case study of both entrenched,\u00a0 preening media bias, but of the overweening arrogance of the American “journalistic” caste.\u00a0 With him in his office, conservative bloggers never had a shortage of material.\u00a0 With him gone, we may have to work at it.
\nJay Weiner
\nDeborah Caulfield Rybak – I’ve quoted her many, many times over the years, in her capacity as the media beat reporter.\u00a0
\nJohn Addington
\nNancy Entwhistle
\nTom Ford
\nRobyn Dochterman
\nJoe Kimball – Kimball covered Saint Paul, and did an excellent job.\u00a0
\nDelma Francis
\nLarry (L.K.) Hanson
\nHeather Munro
\nBob Jansen
\nDenise Brownfield<\/p>\n

Reassignments:<\/strong>
\nJames Lileks will run Buzz.mn<\/font><\/a>\u00a0– which can only be a good thing for the Strib’s online enclave.
\nSteve Brandt will be covering City Hall
\nKevin Diaz [going to Anchorage, apparently]
\nPaul Klauda is moving to Night AME (associate managing editor)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, and some of the people who are leaving the paper are really <\/em>petulant.\u00a0 This comment on Saturday was from someone labelled “Former Stribber (rowr!)” :<\/p>\n

If you’ve read [James Lileks’<\/a>] blog, you’d realize that he’s been hanging around the office the last few weeks, trying to bond with all the people he so assiduously ignored the last few years when he showed his face at 425 Portland about every six months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If avoiding deadwood like FS(R) was part of James’ strategy, it would seem it worked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
