Reluctant Habits » San Francisco Chronicle http://www.edrants.com a cultural website in ever-shifting standing Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:42:21 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Oscar Villalon Out at Chronicle? http://www.edrants.com/oscar-villalon-out-at-chronicle/ http://www.edrants.com/oscar-villalon-out-at-chronicle/#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:07:46 +0000 Edward Champion http://www.edrants.com/?p=8360 This comes from Publishers Weekly‘s Rachel Deahl, whose word must be taken with a grain of salt, but she’s claiming that San Francisco Chronicle books editor Oscar Villalon has taken a buyout and will be leaving the Chron on Friday. This will leave Regan McMahon as the only full-time staffer handling books.

I have emails in to a few Chron people to determine what’s happening here and how this Villalon’s buyout will affect future books coverage at my former hometown newspaper. If I learn anything, I will report it here.

[UPDATE: I have corroborated with two sources at the Chron that Villalon's last day will indeed be Friday. More info as I learn more.]
