Another Dig departure

Sizzlin'-hot alternative-weekly news: Weekly Dig managing editor Lissa Harris is leaving the paper to attend MIT's Graduate Program in Science Writing. We hear she's getting a full ride and a stipend, which is certainly the way to do that sort of thing. (In terms of largesse, it's also very un-Dig-esque).

If you follow this stuff, you know that Harris is the second biggish name to depart the Dig this year. Longtime editor Joe Keohane left the paper in January and is now a staff writer at Boston Magazine, the Dig's corporate sibling.

wait, does that make the rest of us smallish names?

also, rumor has it that harris's stipend consists solely of old johnny d's trade. so it's not as impressive as it sounds.

largesse, un-Dig-like? I'll have you know that some of us are visibly overweight. the voice had that scoop weeks ago.

unrelated: how can we go about getting even more of our staff in the stuff@night party pics? our mothers are freaking proud.

i don't know about "wicked fat"-- no one's laundering any linens on my abs, sure, but even if I were on that new planet they just found, i'd still only be about 270.

I dunno, brodeur's gut has, like, a mind of its own...this one time, it ate half my desk when I wasn't looking. I'm just sayin.

Lissa, when you've got a scoop this hot, you don't fuck around with courtesy calls.

Brodeur's next. The worst columnist in Boston has got to go. Plus it's pretty damn funny that Harris is on her way to some la-di-da elite bullshit at MIT. Her and the Dig's feeble attempts at gonzo media criticism was such an obvious pose. Gosh Lissa, maybe you can write for the New York Times someday! Won't mom be proud?
