Business journal editor reneges on resignation

Jason Schaff, who resigned last month as the editor of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, has decided to stay on the job.

Schaff wrote, “Here’s the scoop. After quitting, I began realizing that I had probably one of the best jobs a journalist could have. I was running the editorial portion of a growing media outlet in a time when many other outlets are reducing. We’d been doing some good things and our publication had grown to become a trusted source of information in our community.

“I also have a great, energetic staff. I work for a great publisher and a great owner who really care about our product. We’re in a geographic area that has a lot of news to report on. It’s all very interesting.

“Seriously, the opportunities I was looking for are here. Forgive me for my dumb decision and any confusion it may have caused.”
