Following numerous complaints from Now and Z/Yen readers, Z/Yen has rudely dismissed the editor of Now and Z/Yen, a cruel but fair step. Many readers complained that the once audacious journal had declined toward self congratulatory articles about Z/Yen’s project wins and "in-jokes" about Z/Yen staff. This unacceptable position could not be tolerated, so the editor quite simply had to go.

As much as anything else, we felt that a one page newsletter every two months or so barely justified a full post with seat on the Board of Directors. We feel sure that Now and Z/Yen readers will immediately notice the difference in style and the "straight in the bin brigade" will return to reading Now and Z/Yen in droves.
