# PaidContent Shakeup Hiring Management, Rafat To Editorial - Host: [businessinsider.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/businessinsider.com/) - Saved: March 27, 2008 (2008-03-27T13:10:00Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3b0b598171c4/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3b0b598171c4.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) LA-based blog PaidContent.org is hiring a Dow Jones and Yahoo Finance veteran, Nathan Richardson, as CEO, Valleywag says. The company is also said to be adding a sales manager. Founder Rafat Ali will focus on editorial. It is not yet known whether the PaidContent management shakeup is a planned evolution--or whether Rafat was defenestrated. ; ) *UPDATE: This post was intended to be tongue in cheek, but as a commenters noted, the first version came out snarky. Apologies! Truth be told, we think this is a smart move by PaidContent. Rafat is the company's strongest editor/writer, and every minute he spends on business is a minute lost to writing, researching, etc. TechCrunch made the same move quite successfully last year, and we expect a lot of growing blog networks will follow suit.
