Annette John-Hall, columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, takes buyout

Annette John-Hall, columnist for the Phiadelphia Inquirer since 2007 and SPMJ '89 Faculty member, has agreed to take a buyout.

John-Hall told Journal-isms that she did not know what she would do next. "I'm open to anything — communications, writing a book, teaching, doing another form of journalism, even going back to school," she said by email. "The nice thing about taking a buyout is that it gives you a little bit of a cushion to decompress, focus and decide."
