Schonfeld Starts To Make Changes At Techcrunch
Erick Schonfeld, the new editor of Techcrunch, allows Paul Carr to publicly blow himself up:
Erick Schonfeld, Paul, I Accept Your Resignation
Paul Carr, one of our columnists who was hired for his grandstanding ways, has decided to fall on his own sword and quit very publicly on TechCrunch. I believe this is the second or third time he’s quit in public in the past couple weeks. I keep losing count. He thinks he is somehow being loyal to Mike and standing up for the editorial independence of the site. But he is not. He is just grandstanding.
I have always thought that Erick is one of the more professional participants at Techcrunch. Now that he’s in change at Techcrunch, I am certain that we will see a very different style at Techcrunch, which has included all sorts of wild shit over the years.
Who can forget Arrington’s disappearing act at Techcrunch50, when he blew up at Jason Calacanis and stormed off the stage? Or the strange interaction between Mike and his erstwhile bosses, Ariana and Tim, at the last Disrupt?
I wonder what other changes we will see from Schofeld? I am batting on an increased level of editorial control, higher levels of professionalism instead of sensationalism, and certainly less craziness like Paul Carr.
