A sincere tip of the Chronicle hat to a baker’s dozen of departing Statesman editorial employees who accepted buyouts from GateHouse Media, the hedge-fund affiliate that bought the paper earlier this year, and last month began the inevitable reorganization (or worse). The headline farewell names include longtime editor Debbie Hiott, wise-elder States-woman Alberta Phillips, DIY transportation reporter Ben Wear, PolitiFact-er Gardner Selby, tech culture reporter Omar Gallaga … and a brace of others. Whoever and whatever survives in the Bat Cave going forward, these experienced hands will be missed.
