NY Observer Editor Quits

Wowsers. Our favorite salmon-colored paper is going though some big changes. Peter W. Kaplan has decided to quit in June. He’s been the editor of the New York Observer since 1994! From The Observer:

Peter W. Kaplan, the fourth and longest-serving editor of The New York Observer, announced to his editorial staff today that he is resigning from the newspaper effective June 1, 2009. [...]
‚”It’s as good as it gets,” he said. ‚”I had a little newspaper in New York City! You can’t beat that. No matter who you are. I had a little newspaper in New York City. That’s as good as it gets. It’s better to have a little newspaper in New York City than a big newspaper in New York City. Because then you only have to report and write for the people you care about. And nobody else.”
