The Grey Lady is up to something…many things and people are on the move over there, particularly with regard to the magazine.

The On Language column originated by William Safire has been cancelled.

Christoph Niemann’s excellent Abstract City blog is closing down and the feature will move to the New York Times Magazine.

This is the last The Medium column by Virginia Heffernan.

After 12 years, Randy Cohen will no longer write The Ethicist column.

Deborah Solomon won’t be doing those irritating interviews anymore.

Update: A couple I missed: Rob Walker’s Consumed and Mark Bittman’s The Minimalist are both ending. (thx, all)
