In interview, former Slate columnist says he's 'damn happy' about move

Media critic Jack Shafer, who was laid off by Slate last month, announced Tuesday that he had been hired as a columnist at Reuters, where he will report to opinion editor James Ledbetter. 

“The Shafer Bubble has burst and I've landed in the vast and verdant field that is Reuters, where I'll labor as a columnist for [news editor] Steve Adler, [global editor at large] Chrystia Freeland, [Thompson Reuters Digital editor] Jim Impoco, and James Ledbetter,” he wrote in an email.
