My sources tell me that Mr. Jeff Pelline, the recent editor of our beloved Onion, has “resigned”, and is moving on to bigger and better things. I wish Jeff Pelline success on his next project. Publisher, Jeff Ackerman, is slated to fill in, at least for the interim. Perhaps soon we may even be able to celebrate the return of The Union.
[20jan09 correction – from Jeff’s comment below and the lengthy explanation on his new blog, we correct this post. Jeff Pelline was laid off by Jeff Ackerman as a cost cutting measure. However, a puzzle remains from reading his new blog – why lay off a multi-talented journalist who was already taking a greatly reduced salary and doing his job as a community service? And Jeff’s irritation at not being a brilliant flash in the blogosphere on his first posting on 18 January 2009 can be forgiven. He will soon learn that it takes a while to build up a readership no matter how famous you think you are. Welcome to the blogosphere.]
