Stephen Buel, who was fired as editor of the East Bay Express two weeks ago, has been hired as assistant city editor of the San Francisco Examiner.
He will be joining the recently departed managing editor of SF Weekly, Will Harper, who served under Buel at the Express.
Says SF Weekly‘s Joe Eskenazi:
It’s an interesting career move, and one that portends that there is a future for alt-weekly journalists — though perhaps not at alt-weekly papers.
