Mark Mitchell, the assistant managing editor of CJR Daily who often took on business journalists with his criticism, has left the online outlet of the Columbia Journalism Review.
In an e-mail to some business journalists and sources, Mitchell wrote, “I have resigned from my job at the Columbia Journalism Review and will no longer be using this email.”
Mitchell’s experience includes stints with the Wall Street Journal in Europe, Time magazine in Asia, the Far Eastern Economic Review, and the English-language Cambodia Daily. He also put in several years as a management consultant to Fortune 100 companies. Mitchell holds a BA from Wesleyan University and an MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
The CJR Daily has had a section called The Audit that was designed to critique business journalism. But there have been just three posts on it in the past month. Earlier in the year, the CJR Daily staff was posting on it almost daily.
Two other editors resigned at CJR Daily back in August after the dean of the Columbia journalism school cut its funding.
Meanwhile, former Wall Streeter and current writer Joseph Wiesenthal criticized Mitchell for a commentary about corporate earnings that missed the real story. Cal-Berkeley economist Brad DeLong, who helps teach an economics reporting class at its journalism school, also expressed some disappointment with Mitchell and the site.
