Oct 21, 2014: CE.org: 2014 CE Hall of Fame: Walter Mossberg
Frenemies Steve Job and Bill Gates didn’t make public appearances together. When Microsoft made its famously unexpected $150 million investment in the revived Apple in 1997, Bill Gates showed up at MacWorld via satellite feed rather than live. But after phone call to each of the two pillars of personal computing from Wall Street Journal tech columnist Walt Mossberg, both appeared on stage together for a now legendary joint interview at his fifth All Things Digital 5 conference in May 2007.

Jan 21, 2014: Jonathan Cohn has announced in his New Republic article that "Policy Journalism Is Having Its Moment." The article is primarily dedicated to the the decision by Ezra Klein to quit the Washington Post in order to start a new journalism project. Melissa Bell and Dylan Matthews will also be leaving WaPo with him.

All but the largest newspapers are dying and we don’t know, yet, exactly what will take their places. But, overall, journalism is richer and more informative because people like Josh Marshall, Nate Silver, and now Ezra Klein are reinventing it." Andrew Beaujon (Poynter) listed several people who have left the established media and are looking at new ventures ("Washington Post announces Ezra Klein is leaving"): "Nate Silver decided last year to leave The New York Times for ESPN, which plans to relaunch his FiveThirtyEight.com under its auspices soon.

Dan Froomkin and Jay Rosen also joined the new organization in varying capacities. Gawker’s Neetzan Zimmerman will be the editor-in-chief of a starting shareup called Whisper. Gabriel Snyder, formerly the editor-in-chief of The Wire, will be chief content officer of a mobile news startup called Inside.com.
