Leaving CJR Daily

I imagine most of the folks coming here have already seen enough of the whole CJR Daily controversy, but for friends and family who can't get enough, here's a roundup.

You can still take a look at the New York Times story that broke the news that my boss, Steve Lovelady, and I had resigned over budget cuts at CJR Daily. (J-School Dean Nick Lemann also released a statement to Romenesko that summed up his side of things.)

There were some interesting comments from Jeff Jarvis (who Lemann took on after Jarvis posted a detailed critique of Lemann's recent New Yorker piece about online journalism), Businessweek, and the the editor of the Greensboro, North Carolina News & Record. Even CJR Daily's long-time sparring partner National Review weighed in. (Gawker had the best headline: "We Must Burn the Online Journalism Village in Order to Save It.")

And David Hershman of Editor & Publisher had probably the most insightful analysis I've seen anyone write about the whole situation.
