Joe Murphy is leaving the Winston-Salem Journal for a new job at the Denver Post. From what I could tell Joe, along with former Journal staffer Adam Howell, spearheaded the Journal’s (and Media General’s) foray into blogging and other online initiatives. This is a definite loss for the Journal and the Winston-Salem online community, as small as it is. I’ve heard that the Denver Post is a leader in the newspaper industry in terms of their online initiatives and I’m sure this is a great career move for Joe. Here’s to wishing him the best of luck and let’s hope he doesn’t forget us little people!

Thanks, Jon — honestly, Adam and I were more the grunts with skills and good ideas than we were the spear-headers. The Journal’s latest blogs were all the newsroom’s initiatives, and were produced by the quite-capable Brad Thomas (who writes at http://journalnowtech.blogspot.com/ and http://www.talkingapes.com/ ).
Grunts or not I think you in particular were pretty active in exploring the local scene and making sure people like me knew what you were up to. Thanks for the link to Brad and I’m heading over to check out his blogs.
We already miss Joe. We’ve got some big plans for the blogs at Journalnow.com and the site in general. Thanks for the kind words, Joe. Stay warm 😀
