We’re hearing that Mediabistro’s FishbowlDC is *this* close to announcing it’s next co-editor. Thank goodness because we were beginning to wonder how much longer Patrick Gavin could keep up the Howie Kurtz-like pace: editor of FishbowlDC, gossip columnist with the Examiner, associate editorial page editor with the Examiner, and man about the town. We’re tired just typing this BS.
Has Mediabistro’s Dorian Benkoil even thought about what might happen to the DC enterprise if Gavin were to retire anytime soon?
He should, especially considering the poor luck the site has had since we spoiled Garrett Graff’s exit, Aoife McCarthy was a miserable failure, and Benkoil was “too afraid” to hire BHR. Excuse us for editorializing, but they need a hot ass in that seat — and fast.
