Staff Changes At The PEN Newsblast

Albert Lang, who has of late been putting out the PEN NewsBlast, is moving on from that post as of today.  Formerly of CommunicationWorks, where his clients included the Center on Education Policy, Lang is apparently going to the e-Luminate Group, where he's going to work on the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Congrats, condolences to Lang and to PEN. 

One of the longest-running online education outlets, the NewsBlast has penetrated deeply into schools and classrooms.  Organizations and PR outfits fight hard to get into the Blast and are elated when they get in there.  No permanent replacement for Lang has been announced.

Here's Lang's last NewBlast, which I'm sure will soon be going for big bucks on eBay. Here's the post that announced his arrival (Lang In For Schaffer At PEN).  Here's a post from last June about the departure of Lang's predecessor (PEN NewsBlast Guru Rides Off Into The Sunset).
