Wall Street Journal Fashion Bureau: No Longer
No Longer February 6, 2009 11:26 am >> Even icons aren't safe anymore.  In late December, Village Voice laid off 30-year veteran and fashion writer Lynn Yaeger — she's since been picked up to blog for New York magazine during Fashion Week — and now, the Wall Street Journal has dismissed 23-year veteran Teri Agins as part of a decision to close its fashion and retail bureau.The number of staffers has been reduced from nine to five — currently retained are columnist Christina Binkley and editor Lisa Bannon; the seven other employees — including Teri Agins, Rachel Dodes, and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, who generally writes the newspaper's must-read Heard on the Runway blog — have all been let go effective at the end of March and asked to reapply for the three remaining positions in the bureau.
March 12, 2009 5:45 pm >> INSIDER WIRE —The Wall Street Journal demolished its fashion bureau just before New York Fashion Week last month, letting go a few contributors along the way, including Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, who largely wrote the paper's fashion blog, Heard on the Runway.  It's disappointing, but not really surprising, then to hear that after today, which marked the end of Paris Fashion Week, the blog will likely go dark; blog posts have been dwindling for the past month, but we're sorry to see it go, the posts that were done made it a must-read.
