Ben Smith's Old Politico Blog Renamed

True to his word, Ben Smith was out at Politico and working for BuzzFeed on Jan. 1. With him gone, the “Ben Smith” blog was immediately transformed into the new “Dylan Byers” blog.

Byers joined the Politico team to work with Smith on the blog. Much to his recent surprise, he’ll run the new show solo.

Decisions. Decisions. Management appears to be going back and forth on what it wants. It’s odd that the tagline “On Media” was added to the blog when the original “On Media” blog run by Keach Hagey was terminated in early November.
