Howard Kurtz to leave Washington Post for Daily Beast

[Swede]

The ripples in the Washington media pond have intensified of late as older media institutions like National Journal have sought to become Web-first enterprises and longtime magazine writers, such as Newsweek’s Howard Fineman, have decamped for new media pastures.

Now Washington Post media correspondent Howard Kurtz is making a fresh splash with news he will be joining The Daily Beast as Washington Bureau Chief, a move announced by Beast editor Tina Brown the day before the online magazine’s two-year birthday.

3. Funniest quote of Kurtz's

was now he is an entrepreneur. This guy has no idea what it is like to be an entrepreneur. He joined an ongoing concern. He didn't start it. What a buffoon.
