I can hardly believe I’ve been trolling this fishbowl we call New York’s media scene for nearly nine months. Only recently have I started to feel comfortable among the network of friendly (and sometimes not so friendly) people I have met at parties, conferences, panels, happy hours and events since this spring.
Although I am reluctant to walk away from FishbowlNY, I’ve been offered a new opportunity that I have found hard to turn down. I am going to work as deputy editor for a new entertainment and lifestyle site that’s being launched by b5media later this month, Crushable.com.
And, if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has made this experience at FishbowlNY so amazing — from my mediabistro.com colleagues, to fellow media reporters, to the tipsters, commenters and readers who let me know what’s what, for better or worse. Thank you for dealing with me while I complained about the life of a freelancer and told my own story about being laid off, among other things. I hope I was able to inform and entertain.
And, I hope you’ll stay in touch. You can keep track of me here

Don’t ever say I never gave you a good job lead.
FishbowlNY is seeking an avid media nerd with a nose for breaking news and a love of media panels to take over the reins of this blog from yours truly.
Yes, you heard it here first: I am moving on to a new project. And if you’re interested in the gig, I welcome you to check out the job posting. The best candidates will have a background in journalism, some experience hunting down and gathering news, a familiarity with how old and new media operates, working knowledge of New York’s media landscape and — what we’re all seeking — a unique voice.
If you enjoy dissecting Rupert Murdoch’s latest tirade and know the difference between Cathie Black and Tina Brown, this might be the job for you.

We are not sad to say good-bye to 2009. It’s an understatement to say that the past year has been grim for the media industry. 2010 — a new decade even — offers a clean slate, a fresh start. We’ve seen that the business model that so many publications have relied on for decades is no longer viable, and everyone is looking for whatever next big thing will come and save us.
In the past few months, we have been hearing the same things mentioned over and over, so we know they are going to play a role in the media’s attempt to transform itself and rise from the ashes in the coming year. As industry leaders struggle to get our business back in the black, we know we’re going to be hearing more and more about these important things. Throughout this last week of the year, we’ll be focusing on four key topics we know we’ll be hearing more of in the coming year: e-readers, tablets and digital applications of pubs; pay walls; citizen journalism and crowdsourcing; and non-profit journalism and philanthropy.
Today, we’re focusing on all the digital goodies that lay ahead for us in 2010. We’ll be recapping some important events from this year and we’ve talked to some big names in the industry about what they are working on and what’s in store for the New Year and beyond.
Think we’ve missed something? Let us know in the comments or send us an email. Let’s get the conversation about the future going.
