A note from Jossip's editor Corynne Steindler:
As you may have heard by now (and we have faith that our oh-so-media-savvy readers have) I will be leaving my blogger life behind to join the daily gossip grind over at the New York Post's Page Six on October 16.
For the past ten months (and for another two weeks), I have spent my days doing something I love and am incredibly passionate about — bitching about media and slinging insults at those who hold the power in this ever-influential industry. While it is going to be difficult to leave my futon and laptop behind (though my roommates are surely going to celebrate the lack of my constant presence) I am looking forward to the challenges of a new position — and leaving my room to interact with society again.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for Jossip's chief David Hauslaib, who gave me an enormous opportunity when he hired me – especially when nobody else in the entire media industry would – and I am going to miss working, writing, and party hopping with him tremendously. Mostly I am going to miss the Jossip readers — you are all the first to call me out on my mistakes, clue me in to inside dish, and, at times, throw some of those biting insults right back. (I'll miss you most of all, Ryan Adams!)
There is no doubt in my mind you will all continue to follow Jossip, and that whoever comes after me will have the sass and scope to keep you brilliant folks engaged and laughing. Feel free (just this once) to leave nice, flattering comments about me below.
Love,
Corynne
Editorial Director
Congrats, Corynne! I said it to you privately, and I"ll say it here: I'm thrilled for you, and you'll be sorely missed.
May the future hold nothing but happiness for you.
wish you the best,
Mark
Congratulations! I know you'll do great. Maybe you can do a "guest" spot every now and then on Jossip for old times sake.

Jossiping will never be the same. Nor, for that matter, will Page Six.
Grr,

Congrats my dear Corynne. Onwards and upwards!
Congrats, Darlin.
I look forward to quoting you often (and only teasing sometimes).
We'll miss you at the office, of course.
I'd say good luck, but that would imply that you need it.
So much love and pride,
Molly
Congrats Corynne! Page Six is going to be more fun to read now!
Best of luck

I'll follow Molly and say this again - CONGRATS! Best of luck to you. This will make reading Page Six so much more entertaining… Adrian would be proud, er, I think ;)
Can't wait to read you on Page Six. Great job and Congratulations!
Wow……..and you get to bribe people at Page Six. You'll make a ton of money!!
I've been reading Jossip nearly every day for a very long time - you're a great writer, and I'll be sure to start looking at Page Six more often (meaning, not just as a link from this site).
GOOD LUCK, DARLIN'! Go show em how it's done - after all, you've been working with the BEST. xo
That is so exciting!!! I wish you the best. I'm a fellow blogger, and I'm very inspired.
You were hired because you're talented, don't forget that.

I guess this explains the Joe Francis plug up above.
great, join the rest of the assholes at the post chasing gossip stories in the hamptons. one of the boobs there once tried to call it "journalistic warfare." I'm sorry you didnt' get a real writing job. You must not be that great of a writer.
Don't let the door hit you in the a– on the way out!!
ttfn….
Corynne, Congratulations - a Steindler in big time journalism! Your journalistic Grandpa would be proud. Have fun, your cousin Harry
