NY Observer Seeks Online VP/GM
The New York Observer is looking for someone to head up their online division. We understand that management at this quirky NY print newspaper is quirky itself. However, there seems like plenty of upside here. Traffic to the site today is very low in contrast to NY blogs like Gothamist. The paper has a loyal audience and there is no reason why this cannot translate online.
