Mark Halperin, who stepped down last month as the political director of ABC News, is moving to Time magazine.

Mr. Halperin, a pioneer of online reporting who founded ABCnews.com’s political memo, The Note, will join Time as an editor-at-large and senior political analyst effective next Monday, the magazine said.

ABC said that Mr. Halperin would continue to play a role at the network as a political analyst and consultant. David Chalian, a longtime political reporter at ABC, replaced him in late March as political director, while a senior political reporter, Rick Klein, will take over this week as the primary author of The Note.

At Time, Mr. Halperin will report to Richard Stengel and Josh Tyrangiel, the managing editors, respectively, of Time magazine and the Time.com Web site.

7. How can a weekly "news" magazine even be relevant anymore?

Okay for op/eds yeah I can see that...oh I forgot they need some title and place to go to for all the pundits.

9. Good Place For Him

Halperin and Time can continue their slide into irrelevance together. What ever happened to ABC's "The Note", by the way? Is it still a right wing talking points clearing house, as it was under Halperin?
