Longtime Boston Herald columnist Margery Eagan has left the paper and will write for The Boston Globe’s Catholic website when it debuts later this summer. Eagan is a colleague at WGBH, where she cohosts “Boston Public Radio” with Jim Braude.
“I’ll be joining the Catholic site when it begins,” Eagan tells me by email. “And I am thrilled.”
Eagan has been one of the Herald’s signature columnists for quite a few years; here is her most recent effort. This is a big loss for the local tabloid — a day after the paper announced it had hired Kimberly Atkins to be its first full-time Washington reporter in a decade.
Good for her… Margery is a great lady and will add a lot in that capacity. I Wish her well.
Does she stay with the Radio Show?
@Martin: Yes. I’m not 100 percent certain her job at the Globe will be a staff position. I asked but didn’t get an answer. But I assume she now considers WGBH to be her day job.
