I cited an anonymous source on Friday (shame on me!) when I told you that Emily Ramshaw was taking a gig with Evan Smith at the Texas Tribune. Now comes her e-mail to colleagues and friends:
Friends, colleagues, delightful sources:
Just wanted to let you know I’m taking the plunge. I’m leaving The Dallas Morning News, my first job and home for 6 years, to be an investigative reporter for the Austin-based Texas Tribune, a Politico/Pro Publica hybrid for Texas government and politics.
Here’s the NYTimes article on the venture:
http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/texas-monthlys-longtime-editor-leaves-the-magazine-for-a-local-web-start-up/My last day at the DMN is Aug. 14. I’ll send out another message when I’ve got my new e-mail address, but you can always reach me at [redacted].
–Emily
