Announced in the Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial page this morning:
Earlier this month [James A.] Bacon briefly joined the Editorial staff of The Times-Dispatch, hired by Bob Rayner, who is editor of the Editorial Pages. When Rayner announced earlier this week that he is retiring from the newspaper business, Bacon decided to leave the paper as well and devote his energies to maintaining Bacon’s Rebellion as one of Virginia’s sharpest websites devoted to assessing public policy. We’re glad he’s still part of the civic conversation. We hope to be able to publish columns by Bacon on a fairly regular basis in the opinion pages of the The Times-Dispatch.
I had been looking forward to working with Bob, who was an excellent editor and an articulate voice for civil and principled conservatism. With his unexpected retirement, my calculus changed, and I have resolved to redouble my efforts to build Bacon’s Rebellion into a credible conservative/libertarian voice in Virginia journalism.
