Steven Levy going to Wired
March 24th 2008
Steven Levy, invariably one of the first four or five people to post a review of just-released Apple products (ie he's got connections at Apple), is reportedly leaving Newsweek and heading to Wired (ValleyWag).
Of special note is the rumor that Newsweek has paid Levy a six-figure sum to terminate his contract early, which ValleyWag says is indicative of the sad and getting sadder state of print magazines as he was one of the genre's most-popular writers.
Along with David Pogue and Walt Mossberg, Levy is one of Apple's most-consistent mainstream press cheerleaders.
One assumes he'll continue in that role at Wired--one assumes he'll bring his Apple contacts with him.
