Media: Online NYT Site Loses Top Education Reporter

These online education sites are clearly hard places to work -- or the people who work at them are young, ambitious and talented folks who're frequently recruited to other jobs. Or both.  Or something else.  You be the judge:

Just over a year ago, education reporter Anna Phillips (left) made the move from GothamSchools to SchoolBook (previous post here).

Now it's been reported (and confirmed) that Phillips has left SchoolBook for the Tampa Bay Times.  In fact, she says she's driving there now.  Stop texting while driving, Anna!

According to this Capital NY report, a longtime NYT crime reporter has joined the education team, and Mike Winerip is starting some sort of Boomer blog, and the education team is (yet again) without its own education editor. Via AKS at @KSAPlus  

No word yet on who will replace Phillips at SchoolBook, if anyone, or what the timeline.

I’m largely self-employed until I'm finished college, and much of the problem with working online, from home, is a disconnect from the people you work with. It could simply be she wants to interface easily and directly with her employers.
