Another genius move by the Trib. From Feder at TimeoutChicago:
Robservations on the media beat:
* Phil Rosenthal, who's been a great competitor and a valued colleague, signed off Sunday after more than six years as media columnist and blogger at the Chicago Tribune to begin writing on "the broader world of business" for the paper. "I think it's a great opportunity," he told me. "These jobs don't come up very often. While I don't take for granted what I was doing, I'm excited to try something different, and I'm ready to have a wider range of things to talk about. It's a role I think the section needs, the paper needs, and maybe the business community needs, too." No word yet on how the Trib plans to cover media. But without Phil's insight and intelligence, it won't be the same.
