Joe Tone named editor of The Pitch

Last month, C.J. Janovy announced that she was leaving The Pitch. So who’s taking over?

This morning, Joe Tone was named the new editor of The Pitch, and he sounds pretty excited to be coming to 17th and Main.

“I’m just thrilled about getting to Kansas City and getting to work,” Tone writes in an e-mail. “The

city is obviously brimming with great stories, and The Pitch newsroom

is well armed to tell them. Filling those ass-kicking boots of CJ’s is

going to be no small feat, but I’m looking forward to

trying.”

And here’s the official word from the big boss man.

Joe Tone is the new editor of The Pitch, Village Voice Media Holdings announced today.
