PaidContent.org's David Kaplan is reporting the former Strib online managing editor Will Tacy — who left our tundra just five months ago — is already out of his new job as Newsweek.com's editor. Kaplan says a magazine rep confirmed the departure, but wouldn't say if Tacy jumped or was pushed.

Tacy resigned here during a December round of buyouts and left just days before the Strib filed for bankruptcy.

As I noted then, "Jumping from the Strib to Newsweek is frying pan to raging fire. The mag has slashed jobs and copies distributed; as with newspapers, many have prophesied the newsweeklies' death. For now, Tacy remains vague about his plans for the dot-com side, except to praise the acumen of his new Newsweek bosses."

Since then, Newsweek unveiled a controversial and richly critiqued redesign in mid-May, though most attention has been on the print version. I haven't visited Newsweek.com until today (which may say something, though I don't go to Time.com either). However, according to this review, the site incorporated more aggregation and user generated content.
