Well, more like shaker-upper if you want to get technical about it.
The feisty local tabloid has a new host for Press Party, its weekly media-review webcast, along with a streamlined panel.
The musical chairs featured former Press Party multimedia reporter Katie Eastman taking over the host’s role, while former host (and Herald columnist) Joe Battenfeld moves over to the panel.
(That’s Herald reporter Hillary Chabot and Suffolk University’s Bob Rosenthal in the other two chairs. The fifth chair from previous webcasts is, well, unendowed.)
As for the content of the webcast, we’ll leave that to the hardreading staff at Campaign Outsider.
Meanwhile, in other Herald web news, a splendid reader of Two-Daily Town sent this today:
Have you noticed that they’ve cut the 6 to 9 a.m. slot [on Boston Herald Radio]? If you turn to the radio page in the paper, you’ll see there’s nothing listed. I listened this morning for a bit between 6 and 6:30 and heard an unbelievably lame segment from yesterday’s sports show followed by the beginning of Graham’s Thursday show.
Said radio page:
The rumor mill also has Battenfeld taking over the vacated 6 to 9 slot.
Stay tuned.
