Media meltdown hits science journalism

Bora points to this report about mega shakeups at Scientific American. The editor for nearly a generation, John Rennie, is out. Nature Publishing Group is now calling the shots. In non-science news Ezra Klein, king of all journolism, is moving to The Washington Post. We live in the age of creative destruction when it comes to media. I'm a dabbler in in writing about science, but as the years go by it seems that the media itself is converging upon my own bloggish means of production. I know that Ross Douthat is going to produce print-worthy column prose for The New York Times, but I have to think there'll be a qualitative stylistic difference from the days of William Safire influenced by Douthat's "New Media" exposure. Speaking of converged New Media, there should be a bloggingheads.tv episode up Sunday or Monday which features myself & Jake Young.
