We've all been hearing about the demise of the NY Times' Circuits section for days and days now -- unless, apparently, you happen to be an employee. In that case, according to the date on this memo posted to Romenesko (journalists' hangout, y'all), you heard yesterday. (In fact, most of the Circuits crew heard last week, same as the rest of us -- proving that even at the Times the speed of print is no match for the speed of gossip.) Bill Keller's got some interesting boy-on-the-burning-deck moves going here, referring to Circuits as "much-imitated" and "pioneering" (darn it, I knew taking the national edition of the paper was silly; I apparently missed the good stuff!) and assuring the crew that this is not, in fact, some kind of tail-between-legs retreat.
