'Observer' Picks New Person To Fill Gabe Sherman's Shoes, Hipster Glasses
Congratulations to Michael Calderone, New York Observer real estate reporter, who has taken the media slot at the paper recently vacated by Gabe Sherman. Calderone's promotion (if you can call working for Tom Scocca a promotion) was reported in the pages of Jossip, and the site's personal relationship with Calderone may have had something to do with its unusual accuracy. Except, you know, for this part: "Rumor has it that many an outside media member was vying for the position (we're guessing Hudson Morgan was somehow on that list?) but the always insider-y pub chose to promote from, well, within."
Yeah, The Hud was gonna leave Conde Nast to write about the comings and going of assistant fashion editors at WWD for a dollar an hour. We're sure whatever Calderone's making doesn't even cover Morgan's collar-popping allowance.
