Jim Romenesko to 'Semi-Retire' From Poynter

Media blogger will launch his own site in 2012

Twelve years after starting his influential media news blog on the Poynter Institute’s website, Jim Romenesko is ready for a break—at least from a full-time role at Poynter. In January 2012, he’s launching his own site, JimRomenesko.com, and will “semi-retire” from Poynter, the Huffington Post reported today.

Romenesko will still post “casually” on his old media news blog, which will be renamed Romenesko+, and plans to continue tweeting from the @romenesko and @poynter Twitter accounts.

Romenesko told the Huffington Post that when his contract with Poynter was up, he debated whether to stay or move on to something new.
