Paul J. Miller, Engadget Editor, Says Goodbye
This is sad news but relatively not surprising – Paul Miller, a staple at Engadget is leaving and it’s AOL’s fault:
I’d love to be able to keep doing this forever, but unfortunately Engadget is owned by AOL, and AOL has proved an unwilling partner in this site’s evolution. It doesn’t take a veteran of the publishing world to realize that AOL has its heart in the wrong place with content.
As detailed in the “AOL Way,” and borne out in personal experience, AOL sees content as a commodity it can sell ads against. That might make good business sense (though I doubt it), but it doesn’t promote good journalism or even good entertainment, and it doesn’t allow an ambitious team like the one I know and love at Engadget to thrive.
Too bad. AOL’s fault and loss and it won’t be the first.
