I’m sorry to report that Mark Glaser is leaving OJR.
We’ll be posting his final column for us, a look at podcasting at National Public Radio, in a couple hours. Mark’s leaving us to work on a book, and then to launch a new project with PBS.org.
Actually, I’m being quite selfish in expressing regret. Mark’s done great work for us over the past few years and has earned all the opportunities that have come his way. I’m grateful that he’s stuck with us as long as he has. (And, yes, I’m twisting his arm to come back now and then and file an occasional piece for us.)
Best wishes on your new ventures, Mark.
As for OJR, we’re going to be running pieces from a variety of freelance writers in Mark’s Tuesday slot, in addition to the features and commentaries we run on Thursdays. (And, of course, I’m here blogging each weekday, along with our USC student writers on the daily news blog.) We’re also working on a new online journalism website that we’ll be launching after the New Year. Finally, we at USC Annenberg are excited about the possibility of someone many of you know joining the school (and, I hope, appearing regularly on OJR) in 2006. Stay tuned.
