I’ve not met Gary Goldhammer but I’ve been a long-time subscriber to his blog’s RSS feed. Probably one reason is he is the only blogger I read who describes himself as a recovering journalist.

News yesterday that Gary has been snapped up by Edelman. Congratulations, Gary, and best wishes in your new role.

Another PR practitioner (even a recovering journalist) goes to Edelman. Are those guys trying to corner the market in excellent communicators?

    Now I read it very differently. To me it appears that Edelman is trying to corner the market on bald Jewish geeks.

    Thanks Neville, I appreciate it and am looking forward to the challenge. I think the closest we got to meeting each other was when Linda Zimmer and I were speaking at an event with Shel, and he was standing next to us while talking on the phone to you :-) Looking forward to meeting someday in person, and thanks again!

    Now that’s funny, Amanda! I’m a gentile, of course…

    Didn’t see that movie, Phil :)

    Gary, at least we could meet in SL if not yet in person. Do jump in!
