What's up with HarperCollins? CEO resigns
Reuters comes with the story this morning that HarperCollins CEO Jane Friedman is resigning, and according to Rupert Murdoch, in order to "seek new challenges at this point in her career." Gawker, who came out with the initially scoop, speculates whether Mrs Friedman was actually fired.

Quote:
We're hearing a wild rumor that Jane Friedman was just fired from her perch atop News Corp.'s HarperCollins. If true, this would sure lend a hefty dose of irony to the publishing executive's quote in the Observer today, gleaned from an industry party on the Twentieth Century Fox lot Saturday: “I love being CEO of HarperCollins!”
Quote:
The Observer quotes a source confirming Friedman's departure... The Observer's source claims that Friedman left of her own accord, and has been planning to exit for some time. How weird, then, that she made her "I love being CEO" proclamation Saturday. Apparently it was some sort of joke.
