A FAREWELL, AND THANKS. The Prospect staff would like to say a hearty thank-you to Sam Rosenfeld, who recently left the magazine to pursue a graduate degree in history at Harvard. Sam spearheaded our site re-design this spring, edited this blog during it's award-winning year, and commissioned/edited/wrote hundreds of amazing articles.
We wish him the best of luck as he transitions to academia, a far more lucrative career than journalism, to be sure. He'll be missed around the office and at happy hour, but is likely to continue to post on TAPPED once he's settled in Cambridge. With Sam's exit, we're joined by a new associate web editor, Phoebe Connelly, who was previously the managing editor at In These Times. I've taken over Sam's former role as web editor, and hereby pledge to uphold TAP Online's proud tradition of counter-counterintuitivism and anti-wank. --Ann Friedman
