The Strange Tale of the LAT Reporter Who Didn't Get Laid Off (But Left to Work For a Blog)

Tina Dupuy of our sister blog FishbowlLA has an interview with Richard Rushfield, who (get this) quit his job at the Los Angeles Times — not laid off, quit — to write for a blog.

OK, it isn’t just any blog, as Dupuy points out, but the popular Gawker. Rushfield is now Gawker’s West Coast editor. In this entertaining interview, Rushfield discusses his bold career move as well as his book, a memoir titled Don’t Follow Me, I’m Lost.
