Wow! KQED drops out of news project

Current has the news that KQED is out of the Bay Area News Project and the NY Times is in.
Personally, I’m fairly disappointed in this turn of events. Perhaps KQED will tell its side of the story in the days to come.
So far, all that’s available is speculation and back-room chatter.
For the last 15 years I've done what comes naturally to anyone with degrees in English, earth science and education: I taught high school for a year then worked as an IT pro in healthcare, banking, consulting and government contracting (of course!). But I also spent nearly 5 years in Alaska's largest public media company, taking the traditional radio / TV / statewide news operation online and realizing traffic gains of more than 700% in just 18 months. These days I simply turn over the occasional public media rock and tell you what I see.
