Wonkette's Jim Newell to Replace Alex Pareene at Gawker
Strikingly redheaded Jim Newell, editor at politics/comedy blog Wonkette, is leaving to join Gawker. Newell announced the move in a blog post last night:
Yes, it’s true. After replacing Alex Pareene at Wonkette in 2007, I will now replace… Alex Pareene… at Gawker’s politics slot, which he left very recently. As long as I keep blatantly copying his style, I should have steady employment for life, as he is very talented.
Pareene left Gawker for Salon in April.
