USC professor Marty Kaplan now writes for the Jewish Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Susan Freudenheim came from the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n

Brad A. Greenberg came from the Los Angeles Daily News.<\/p>\n

Bill Boyarsky came from the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n

So after Rob Eshman (he has a weakness for great resumes) has chewed ’em up — just kidding Rob, you’re the nicest guy I know in journalism — where do they go?<\/p>\n

Do they follow in Marc Ballon’s footsteps and become publicists?<\/p>\n

Do they follow in Theresa Strasser’s footsteps and marry goyim?<\/p>\n

Do they become bloggers?<\/p>\n

Do they just kick the bucket?<\/p>\n

Howard Blum went to the Jewish Journal from the LA Weekly and then moved to the LA Times.<\/p>\n

Anybody who has a job at a newspaper should be grateful while it lasts.<\/p>\n

I admit it — I used to hate the Jewish Journal.<\/p>\n

When did that change? The day I interviewed Rob Eshman in 2004<\/a>. I suddenly saw things from his perspective and all my hatred dissolved.<\/p>\n

That happens to me a lot. I’ll hate someone. I’ll meet them. I’ll understand. I’ll become calm. Relatively.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have way too much free floating rage.<\/p>\n

At least it can make for good blogging.<\/p>\n

I have this rage on a trigger. I try to surround myself with good souls because they make my madness disappear.<\/p>\n

I’m about the most susceptible bloke around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
