Steve Smith to National Sawdust

Steve Smith (@nightafternight; Night After Night), formerly of Time Out, formerly a superb freelancer at the NY Times, and lately an editor at the Boston Globe, is moving on, to become the director of a new publication, The Log, at National Sawdust.

Here's a statement from Steve about The Log.

Congratulations to Steve, who is a great writer and a journalist of vision, and to National Sawdust, which is extremely lucky to have him on board.

I'm happy for Steve, and I must also say that his departure leaves me concerned about the Globe's commitment to music criticism, especially given the recent shedding of freelance work.
