It was only a matter of time: Jessica Cohen will Gawk no more

Nick Denton's stable of "snarky" (god we hate that word) bloggers has just gotten thinner with a late announcement from Gawker Editrix Jessica Cohen that she has tendered here two weeks notice. Ms. Cohen is headed for the more posh and rich, Vanity Fair where she will take a nice little spot as Deputy Editor of VanityFair.com Said Jessica Cohen in her "Letter From The Editor Posting": After over two years and somewhere around 6000 items, I'm finally selling out. Don't get me wrong -- I've been trying to sell out for ages, but no publisher seems interested in my haphazardly written roman à clef about a silly girl who moves from LA to New York to write some crazy media gossip blog and eventually discover herself while learning some really valuable life lessons. We can't wait to see who takes her seat on the Denton ship. We are sure Co-Editor Alex Balk has his eye on the spot and will probably get it too. [Gawker]
