Gawker, Washington Post, New York Times, Allbritton Communications and political news coverage...

I haven't quite figured out what New York based Gawker does exactly, but I picked up this item from their site linked to the New York Times, and I appreciate that: John Harris, The Post’s political editor, and Jim VandeHei, a national political reporter, said yesterday that they were leaving The Post to join Allbritton Communications to create an Internet-focused news organization, as yet unnamed, that will include a politics-only Web site. It will be affiliated with the company’s new newspaper in Washington, The Capitol Leader, which is to start print publication in January. The departures were in the works before The Post, which like many other newspapers is experiencing a drop in circulation and advertising revenue, announced last week that it was making sweeping changes in its newsroom staff.
