Wired’s Epicenter blog has an entry from Dylan Tweney reporting that a “reshuffling” of management at PC Mag has left editor-in-chief Jim Louderback out of the picture, with Lance Ulanoff taking on the EIC role.

ESPN.com just published an AP story about a writer for the Louisville Courier-Journal who was thrown out of Louisville’s game against Oklahoma State on Sunday.

Earlier this week, I caught this item on MetaFilter about how the Independent Press Association had kicked the bucket, and how magazines were on the down and down.
