Wow. Roger Highfield, who has been at the Daily Telegraph for 22 years, is leaving to edit New Scientist (for which I still have a lot of residual affection, having written for it during one of my years of freelancing, and worked there from 1992-95).
NS is a great mag: it’s one of four that I read regularly, every week. (The others are Business Week, the New Yorker, and the Economist.)
But the fact that Roger’s going - wow. It’s perhaps indicative of the Telegraph becoming a place he doesn’t want to work at any more (after all, it’s not often that one leaves a job because one is completely satisfied). Though of course I’m sure he felt this was too good to pass up.
The quote in the press release is interesting:
I am especially grateful to my editor, William Lewis, for the exciting and unprecedented opportunities he has given me to explore what the web has to offer journalism.

Enkele uren na het nuttigen van het gepeperde voedsel, overleed hij aan een hartstilstand.
Dat bleek tijdens een gerechtelijk onderzoek, schrijft de Britse krant The Daily Telegraph. De rechter besloot dat nader onderzocht moet worden of de man echt is overleden aan het eten va...

Flat Earth News, and the evidence from the people who generate itPost Date: 2008-05-28 14:30:21 Andrew Brown (whose blog feed is now full-text - marvellous!) notes, in the you’ll-have-to-look-it-up entitled post Don’t have sex with Roman Catholics notes how the process Nick Davies has been on about - “churnalism” (which gets its own, much-deserved excoriation at the Churner Prize blog) - whereby the accountants decide how much should be spent on researching stories, rather than the journalists or news executives, progressed on our last mutual paper:
...  Why can’t people figure out when Mad Men is set?Post Date: 2008-05-21 10:18:54 William Leith - argh! flashback! - wrote a TV review in the Guardian the other day, talking about Mad Men (as in, the men who ruled Madison Avenue), and said

Just opposite is a guy using a Dell. Who also has an iPhone.
Question: which of us puts more money in Apple’s pocket? My MacBook is a one-off purchase - there’s no ongoing payment to Apple through it.
By contrast, the iPhone involves a (rolling?) contract that lasts - correct me, I’m offline when I write this - 18 months, during which one puts a lot of money into Apple’s coffers. (And O2’s, of course...
