Here’s who was on the move from Jan. 16 to Jan. 29:
Some *personal* news.

After six years, Wednesday is my last day with Postmedia.
My time as EIC of the Edmonton Journal and Sun was an incredible opportunity and challenge.
A load of fun and I got to work with some amazingly talented journalists.
No idea what's next, so onward.
Congratulations to @peterwklein on being promoted to full professorship, and to @kgretsinger on being appointed Senior Faculty Advisor to @ubcprez! @UBC https://t.co/qC1XCmTCA4

I'll post a longer message later but for now – watch this space! There are still some stories to share.
Thanks, Adrian @CBCAdrianH . Great picture. I'm not quite done yet. There's still much to do, including data-journalism training at @CBCOttawa and other locations across the network. Keep up your important work in the growing community that is Ottawa. Talk to you soon. https://t.co/xKGH1KoVqj

Some news for the #cdnfp & #cdnmedia communities: Yesterday, there were layoffs at the organization that funded @OpenCanada and the editorial positions associated with the site were eliminated, including my own. The site is now on hiatus and I can't say what its future will be.

I am so thankful to everyone who took the time to share their stories with me during my years at the Sun and grateful to the journalists I've had the pleasure of working with so far. And I am very excited for this next adventure. https://t.co/7G2q6c7LyL

Some exciting if bittersweet news to share…I’m saying goodbye for now to the east coast to join the @WinnipegNews team as a reporter in March! Looking forward to being back under those big prairie skies and contributing to the work at this powerhouse paper. Long live print! https://t.co/9taEMflBIE

Contractually obligated as a capital J Journalist to announce some #professionalnews: I’m the deputy editor of @ipoliticsca now. I’ll still be doing lots of reporting, but now I’ve got more clout and need to get new business cards. pic.twitter.com/cMI0TtltN2

The word is out! After 19 months at the Burnaby Now, and almost four years at community newspapers, I’m reading for the next chapter!

Some Ottawa bureau @TorontoStar news to share: the fabulous @SusanDelacourt and I are doing what we're calling a "switcheroo": she will increase her politics columns, and I will become the bureau chief starting Monday, while continuing with my #cdnecon #cdnpoli writing.
