Journalists play musical chairs with jobs

As newspapers cut pages and pinch jobs, journalists are busy jumping between publications, trying to find a secure position. The technology beat is more popular now than ever before and journalists are trying to attain these positions at some of the top national media outlets. According to AlleyInsider.com, Farhad Manjoo, who has held a machinist column for Salon.com, will be joining The Washington Post's Slate.com covering technology and new innovations. He will begin next month.
Other notable journalists to take new positions are Newsweek's Steve Levy to Wired, Forbes' Dan Lyons to Newsweek and Wall Street Journal's Rebecca Buckman to Forbes.
