Katie Reetz goes to Elon
Katie Reetz, award-winning feature writer, video star, and journalistic troublemaker, has resigned to work for Elon University as assistant director for admissions communications. (With all due respect to Elon, we don't have any real desire to be a feeder paper.)
Katie came to us straight out of UGa. two and a half years ago and has done fine work. Part of her job will be to begin the school's efforts to reach students digitally with podcasts, Web casts, blogs, etc. I'd like to think we helped prepare her. We'll miss her.

That's too bad for the N&R and its readers. Young Miss Reetz has the stuff, and I will miss her work.

Too bad for the N&R, but great for Ms. Reetz. There was a time a few months back when I noticed her byline in virtually every section of the paper. Made me wonder if she was your only reporter! Good luck to her, and to your HR folks in finding her replacement.

And I'll bet some in the newsroom say she's gone "to the dark side."
It can be OK in academia ... it really can.
