The Future of Journalism Blog is getting a makeover. I've taken over as the name on the door because Katharine Mieszkowski has decided not to continue writing here as she pursues her own future in journalism. You can follow her on Twitter @kmieszkowski.

The FoJ Blog is a side project for me, not part of my actual job at Salon, so I'll be updating it as much as I can, but without a teammate the posts might not be as frequent as they have been. I'll miss Katharine around here, but I pledge to keep the quality of this blog at least 30 percent as high as it always has been.

Guess no one can blame her for not wanting to hang around now. The whole list of talented people is a loss to Salon readers and Os readers alike.
Hopefully you can find time often, King.

Would Salon be open to having an OSer or two contribute an occasional post (with you or Kerry or someone else at Salon as editor)? Of course, being the editor might be twice the work of writing a post.
Best wishes to Katharine. I've enjoyed this blog and hope it will continue to cover journalism, social media, the new journalism, things old and new, and everything in between.
Can't Buster help out? : D

It's not up to Salon, it's up to me. Katharine and I started, and I now run, this blog like any other civilians. It's not part of Salon, it's just on Salon's blogging platform. Just like yours.

So my answer is yes, I'd consider and appreciate submissions for guest posts. Just send them to me by e-mail.

To others in this thread: Thanks for the best wishes etc.
Why's your caricature dressed so formally now, especially in this heat?

My caricature hasn't changed in years. It's getting a little out of date. In real life I look like Estelle Getty in "Golden Girls" now.
I'm accustomed to seeing him in a short-sleeved shirt, not a sportsjacket and turtleneck.
Are we looking at the same thing?
I'd like to recommend that you add a link to NYT Patrick LaForge's "Basic Twitter Links for Journalists" to the links on the left of this page
Oh, how silly of me. You're right. I was thrown off by the crop over the sleeve and arm tattoo. Sorry.
Just have fun with it!
