Hot Gossip in the Food-Editor Job Shuffle!

Now, here's something you don't see every day in the frantic world of media gossip: As reported Thursday, there's a shakeup in the food-editing world at the very pinnacles of newspaper food journalism: A former Talk magazine editor is going to be the New York Times' new food editor, while the Times person is moving to take Russ Parsons' place as LATimes food editor. But, as the NY Post reported Friday, the ex NY-er will be joining her boyfriend at the Times, who also is a food writer. To avoid the appearance of nepotism, the boyfriend won't be reporting to the girlfriend but to a neutral third party, the LATimes' deputy managing editor and an exNYT'er himself. All of this sounds like just so much inside baseball, but to those of who just watch the gods relocate themselves on Olympus, it's a fun spectator sport.
