Post Columnist's Dramatic Exit; Time Nabs A Beast

February 7, 2012

Mandy Stadtmiller rather dramatically quits the New York Post after six years. She had written the "About Last Night" column, which chronicled her various shenanigans in charming, honest and accurate ways. In her farewell tweet, she links to her site (tagline: Writer. Comedian. Sexytime.) that features News Whore, an upcoming eBook detailing her time in Rupert Murdoch's empire. Self-promotion just reached a new high. Or a new low. Or perhaps both. Regardless of how you feel, it's a brilliant way to leave (and we'll certainly be reading the book)...

Bloomberg News fires Paris-based features writer Craig Copetas... Photographer Bryan Patrick loses his job at the Sacramento Bee after editors found three instances where he doctored images... Time hires Tom Weber as assistant managing editor. He has previously been editor at SmartMoney.com and managing editor of Newsweek/Daily Beast... Jeff Tkach is the new publisher of Organic Gardening. He gets promoted from associate publisher, a position he has held since 2009. Last year marked a decade at Rodale for the man... Kassie Means scores a promotion from associate publisher to publisher and chief revenue officer at Country Living. She has been with the publication since 1996...

CNN promotes Jim Acosta to national political correspondent. He had been a correspondent since jumping from CBS News. The 24-hour News Network also snags ABC News veteran Miguel Marquez as a Los Angeles-based correspondent. He previously worked at CNN from 2003 through 2005... The Huffington Post's social media editor Mandy Jenkins leaves for a job at Digital First Media, but not before sharing her thoughts about the perils of her previous position... Jim Newell returns to Wonkette with a pretty hilarious re-entry post...

Facebook snags Apple vet Rebecca Van Dyck as head of global marketing... There's now a product for anyone trying to get poached... And there are changes at Politico, Eater Vegas and more...
