A Reliable Source Says Leiby is Out

richleiby.jpgIt’s been a badly kept secret that Richard Leiby hasn’t been the happiest camper as the Post’s Reliable Source. His weekly chats have been increasingly focused on being someplace else, and his heart has always been in the gritty street-level features that he was raised on.

Now word that he’ll be officially leaving as the Reliable Source, the city’s main gossip column–probably in late Spring. No word yet on a replacement or what he’ll be doing post-gossiping.

UPDATE: Harry Jaffe has more.
