It’s getting harder and harder to know who’s working where these days. Admittedly, The SunBreak is not helping–readers of Seattlest know Audrey, James, Jeremy, Seth, and I just migrated from there. But it’s been that kind of summer.
Today we have two notices: ex-PI arts editor Emily White is now ex-City Arts magazine, which recently picked up Mark Baumgarten and the Sound magazine name.
And The Stranger‘s crime reporter Jonah Spangenthal-Lee has been given “his walking papers,” reports his old boss Josh Feit, over at Publicola. Feit already brought Erica Barnett over from The Stranger–crime and politics go together, don’t they?
The musical chairs also involves The Stranger hiring ex-PI reporter Claudia Rowe as news editor, which, as is typical with The Stranger‘s human resources practices, was reported elsewhere first.
Finally, as we mentioned earlier, KIRO canned talk show Too Beautiful To Live last Friday, driving them into the wilds of internet-only broad- and podcasting. Catch Luke, Jen, Sean and others right here, from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays.
I believe Luke had a comedy show last night at Chop Suey. And I think there’s something tonight. I dunno. Justin tweeted it. Who can trust that guy?
And someone became a (really dive) bar owner.

Wow. That’s not the direction I would’ve expected from the CityArts merger.
