FC: I've left Wired News and have a new job

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

I've left Wired News and have taken a new job as CNET News.com's chief 
political correspondent. I'll be working in Washington DC and writing about 
the same topics I did for Wired -- the ever-growing intersection of 
technology, law, and politics. You can find my articles at news.com.

My agreement with CNET allows me to continue running Politech.

I've spent four years at Wired News (and also worked at HotWired/Wired 
magazine six years ago), and have tremendous respect and affection for my 
colleagues who turned wired.com into one of the most interesting news 
sources anywhere.

But CNET offered me additional opportunities, and I'm looking forward to 
working with the excellent writers and editors at News.com. Besides our own 
network, News.com articles also appear on the New York Times, MSNBC, and 
Yahoo News sites. We have an agreement with the Boston Globe and San 
Francisco Chronicle to run our articles on their websites and in print -- 
all of which means you'll be able to find my articles in more places than 
before.

It looks like I'll be on CNET Radio with Brian Cooley 
(http://www.cnet.com/broadband/0-7227152-7-7149065.html) most days around 
9:40 am ET. It's available on 910AM in San Francisco, 890AM in Boston, XM 
channel 130, and of course via the Internet.

My new phone numbers are:
  (202) 299-1013 (office in DC)
  (415) 344-2285 (office in SF, when I'm in town)

My IM addresses:
  declanindc (Yahoo)
  declanindc (AOL)

>    I owe my editors a considerable debt for their good humor and
>    commitment to solid journalism. I owe my readers an equal debt for

>    that readers often know far more about a subject than the writer.
>    I'm grateful to my fellow reporters at Wired News for the chance to

>    politics. Keep up the fierce, intrepid reporting!
