Only days after the Sun announced that it might close at the end of the month, the paper's city editor David Lombino said today is his last day at the paper, and in journalism altogether. Here's the email he just sent out to staff, and friends:

Hi all:

Apologies for the mass email. I wanted to let you know that today is my last day at The New York Sun. Starting Monday I'll be serving in a new capacity as Vice President of Public Affairs at the New York City Economic Development Corporation.

My contact info as of 9/15 will be:

xxx@nycedc.com

My personal cell phone remains 917-xxx-xxxx.

Thanks, talk to you very soon.

Dave
