    I read her column everyday and was shocked by the news today. Hopefully she'll find another good paying writing gig soon..

    you see this all over the media world.. it's cheaper to pay new grads and bloggers per story than retain full-time journalists. it might be the future of the industry, but it's a sad day for the future of journalism

    I have no doubt that she'll land on her feet. She's an incredible journalist, and she'll probably keep her audience even without Variety behind her.

    Anne, buy a URL for $7 and go to town.

    "Is Variety signaling that their done with the internet by firing the journalist who has championed it the most?"

    You must yave meant: "that they're done with(...)"

    right? ;-)

    No, he didn't mean that. He's unaware of the difference.

    thank you, I have never heard of sarcasm before either :) . It never amazes me, how many people love to point out grammatical/spelling errors...

    That typo was intentional. To keep sticklers engaged in the article.
