August 15, 2007 News



Elisa Jacobs leaves her job as music and arts editor at the LA.com web site on Friday to move to Channelone.com as a features writer. She'll also be doing free-lance music writing (concert previews, concert reviews, CD reviews, interviews) for Spin.com, flavorpill LA, artistdirect.com, and more. Contact her here: jacobs.elisa@gmail.com. Thanks to my highly esteemed colleague and great pal Rachelle Roe for the tip!

Eater LA Editor Leslie Balla, who helped launch LA.com, calls it "a good site gone bad" in a post today.
