A Glut of Media Reporter Resignations

Ever want the opportunity to follow in a star’s footsteps? Well you might well soon get the chance as two large organizations lost media reporting studs (does that exist) today. Both AOL and New York Observer learned that their star reporters are stepping away for new projects elsewhere.

First, AOL, which learned that media reporter Jeff Bercovici will join the new blogging platform at Forbes. A huge loss for AOL, which has attempted in recent years to bring on high-profile journalists in an effort to legitimize its reporting.

The other media reporter deciding to call it quits at his old job is the Observer‘s John Koblin, who plans to join his old editor, Peter Kaplan, over at Women’s Wear Daily.
