Phoenix shocker: Local media critic writes about local media just in time to stop writing about local media

For a couple weeks there, our Professional Media Critic was back to his old routine of only covering things happening hundreds of miles away ("For those who care, here's a piece from LA City Beat casting a very jaundiced eye on New Times honcho Mike Lacey's plans for the newly acquired Village Voice" - yawn).

But now, whoosh, hold onto your fedoras, because Mark Jurkowitz has discovered that newspapers still exist in Boston. Why, he even had something bad to say about the Globe.

Alas, all good things must come to an end: Jurkowitz is leaving the Phoenix to become associate director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism in Washington.

Sorry, I can't think of a witty way to link to my newspaper disclosure today.
