Dominque Ritter departs from her role as editor-in-chief of Reader’s Digest.
JOB ALERT!
I'll be leaving my job at RD but not before launching the search for the next EiC. Can be MTL- or TO-based.
I happen to know this is the best team you could dream up. Msg me for details!https://t.co/1HkEce8pYA

And former J-Source managing editor H.G. Watson returns to Ryerson University.
I'm headed back to @RSJnow (they can't get rid of me) to co-instruct the @theryersonian this year! (Student media can also not get rid of me.)

Here are the rest of the media on the move in July:
Some personal news: After 3.5 memorable years @nowtoronto, I'll be moving to @dailyxtra in August as their new Community Manager. I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my career, helping to grow Xtra's social media and digital presence and amplify #queer voices. https://t.co/mJMOxE2J0c

And so I wanted to share some personal news. I’m leaving National Observer to pursue a new challenge in journalism as an investigative producer at Global News. I'm thrilled about joining this award-winning team. #cdnmedia #cdnfoi #investigativejournalism #journalismmatters

Farewell to Roy MacGregor, one of the true legends of Canadian journalism. Sometimes the word “legend” gets thrown around lightly… in the case of @RoyMacG, its entirely appropriate. https://t.co/7R6TCMAsbt

I am full of EMOTIONS today and in case you aren't into sappy threads, the TLDR for you is that today is my last day with the wonderful team @Chatelaine and I'll be starting as an audience development editor at @postmedianet next week!

Fun fact! Last week I started at HuffPost Canada + Yahoo Canada as an Editorial Assistant! Excited for what's to come + to have colleagues that are not the squirrels fighting on the tree in front of my window while I'm trying to work

a bit of news, I’m off to DC and then Berlin for the Arthur Burns fellowship! I’ll still be doing some stuff for VICE, but I’ll also be working for @dwnews. Will be back in Toronto in October.

Some news: After three wonderful years at The Walrus, where I have learned basically everything I know, I am moving to Montreal to live as a writer (and editor and part-time student).
Meanwhile, The Walrus is hiring a Head of Research. Please apply! https://t.co/sGb0wd5mjv

Hi! Heads-up you’ll probably be seeing my @CBCNews byline a lot less soon. This is my last week here in the bureau. However, I’ll still be in Washington and will be joining NPR’s @MorningEdition + @UpFirst as an editor later this month! Very jazzed about it!

Some personal news — I am officially the national online supervising editor for lifestyle @globalnews
While this means writing less (I know, sad😶), I can focus more time on creating larger projects and strategies for lifestyle as a whole. Super excited to start! 👀— Arti Patel (@artipatel) July 24, 2019
I officially quit CBC.
I’ve been on leave to run my charity for the last yr & was to return Aug 1.
But I can’t.
CBC wasn’t for me anymore.

They need to play.So, i took the HUGE leap…I will be staying w/ @FreeFootieYeg & fighting for equity & access. pic.twitter.com/hE1BxpKDrv
