Google’s SVP of product management, in a memo rewritten for public use. The bits about journalism have been quoted in the last week, but not the most interesting ones. Read the whole section and you’ll see what I mean, perhaps.

Thanks, Howard.

As you may or may not have heard by now, my boss at the office, Howard Owens, has moved on.
I just want to take a moment to publicly say thanks to Howard here, and more than obviously, to wish him the best in whatever endeavor other people might call his “job” next.
Personally, I happen to know that what Howard calls his “job” is more of a 24/7 thing than a 9 to 5 thing, and it has everything to do with the transition of journalistic power in small towns and neighborhoods from the press to the community, and very little to do with where his paycheck comes from, or the sign on the door.
So: Thanks, Howard. And good luck.
(Of course, I’ll continue to work with Howard on Wired Journalists and other projects across the Web. This just means I don’t have to do what he says quite as often. 
)
