WaPo Loses 17-Year Veteran of the Paper: 'I'm Exhausted.'

WaPo is losing tech columnist Rob Pegoraro.

In a lengthy letter entitled “Departure” that he posted on his website, he explains why. The gist, he says, is that management no longer thinks what he does is part of their “core mission.” He thinks it’s a blessing in disguise. “In two words, I’m exhausted,” he writes. He says he has a house to babyproof, a garden to tend to and a kitchen to use. “I won’t mind stepping off the treadmill for a bit to focus on things that don’t involve gigabytes, kilobits or megapixels.”
