Paul Anderson leaving the Daily Pilot

The Daily Pilot's city editor, popular blogger and all-around nice guy Paul Anderson is leaving the paper to become Orange County bureau chief for the City News Service. He'll be deeply missed in the Newport-Mesa community. Here's his blog post and an excerpt:

But now I’m moving on. As of July 29 I will no longer be the Pilot’s city editor. After a decade — a decade, can you believe it?! — I’m leaving Times Community News to be the Orange County bureau chief for the City News Service, the wire for Southern California. I’m going back to my roots. Anyone who knows me well understands why. The wires were my first love and I never got over it. City News in Chicago marked my salad days as a reporter and I loved working for City News in Los Angeles when I arrived in California.
