Indianapolis Star's editor to take post at University of Kansas

Indianapolis Star's managing editor, Pam Fine, is leaving the paper to become the Knight Chair for News, Leadership and Community at the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas.
Editor & Publisher recently talked to Fine about her departure and about difficulty of working in a newsroom under tough economic times.
From the story:

Fine, 50, said budget cuts and other industry-wide problems also played a role in her decision. "It is hard and it has gotten harder to do the kind of work here we want to do," she explained. "The demands have grown and the staff hasn’t."
Asked if she believed more top editors would take the jump to teaching and non-newsroom jobs, Fine said: "I don’t know. I think people are thinking about their careers and where they'd be happy. Most of my colleagues still want to be in their day to day."
