Ana Marie Cox, aka Wonkette, is taking a job at Time while Gawker Media continues to run the Wonkette site (see MediaPost), and a few weeks ago Amanda Congdon left her post as host of the geek-news video program Rocketboom (e gad, too many links for me to choose one). The moves bring up the old question: Does the audience tune in for the talent or is it loyal to the media brand? Given that FM’s tagline is “author driven,” I guess you know where I stand.
