Required Reading: Campbell Soup

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 6, 2010

Gawker reports that the Times is killing Boldface, the column written by Campbell Robertson (who, it must be said, seemed a little dismissive of his own beat when he spoke with us yesterday). But the link provided, to FishbowlNY, simply suggests Robertson is merely moving on to the theater desk (more drama, less theatrics). And the original source, an article in Variety, implies that Robertson's departure signals the end of The Times' amusing but anemic gossip column, but doesn't state it definitively.

Cam, why didn't you pre-empt all that rumor and innuendo and tell us yourself yesterday?
