SIMON DOONAN LEAVES THE NEW YORK OBSERVER FOR SLATE

Doonan was the star of The Observer and now the paper is searching for someone new to step up.

World Wide Web- Could it be more than a coincidence that Simon Doonan is leaving the New York Observer right after Alexandra Jacobs left? Doonan, after writing a column for the paper for 10 years, will take his talents to Slate. Obviously Doonan will be missed and Observer editor-in-chief Kyle Pope is looking for the next star. “Simon has been the star of the Observer for 10 years, and he’ll be missed,” said Pope. “But, as he said, it’s time for someone new to step up. We’re searching now for who that someone will be.” Any ideas Blaynistas? [Fashionologie]
