Stereophile - that didn't take long... :(

[Jim Smith]

Sheesh!!!

If the rumors are true, several valuable members of the Stereophile staff have already been released by the new owners...

Hi Jim, any idea whom we’re talking?

Man, I like all those guys. Geesh.

So far, it's only a rumor (but from a trusted source). I heard Robert Baird, Jana Dagdagan, & Michael Lavorgna, plus other employees.

Thanks for sharing, Jim. Very unfortunate IMHO.

This usually occurs with when a new owner group takes over a company or its properties. Been through quite a few myself, but always got to remain.

If true, I wonder who will “edit” Audiostream?

 

[JWhip]

Not sure it means anything. But the picture of Michael LaVorgna that used to be on his entries in the comments section is now gone. The entries are still there though. The pic was there yesterday.

Hmmm, I wonder if Herb is among the casualties given his recent rant??? He seemed ticked about something!

I think it would be a huge mistake if they let Jana go! In my opinion she's brought a youthful exuberance along with her fine writing and video skills which have re-energized their print and online presence.

Didn't even know the magazine was sold. I wonder how much it will change.

Wow, extremely unfortunate and a huge mistake in my opinion. I like all of their writing and reviews. Met Jana at RMAF. She's extremely nice. Really refreshing to get a woman's viewpoint.

We better download all the good stuff from the web-page before it disappears.

In mergers and acquisitions, very seldom things stay the same.

Thx for the heads up Jim.

I feel bad for John Atkinson. He put his heart and soul into the magazine. He managed to cover all corners of the hobby with sites dedicated to headphones, digital, analog, and everything else!

I hope everything works out for the gang. A good gang.

John is the Editor of Stereophile where Mike Lavorgna is the Editor of Autostream.

I assume they will do what espn did and get younger people to try to appeal to a new audience. I will be honest the website needed a little updating. There is a new world of wealthy young millionaires and the articles weren't really reaching out to that base of people.

Well we can only speculate. What John does brings, he merit to reviews with measurements and to equipment or find someone with his skill sets and lets not forget test equipment well could be difficult not to mention the skills of being a editor who oversees the complete mag, to include the web version.
