The Derry Journal's editor for more than six years, Martin McGinley, has left the paper after accepting voluntary redundancy.
As one of Donegal's leading fiddle players it will give him more time to spend with his fiddle (here's a picture of him in action).
His public announcement came in a typically low-key tweet eight days ago: "So what's next?! Very fond of Derry Journal and wish team there every success. Glad of chance to start plotting new things..."
He abandoned his own PR business in June 2007 to take the Journal chair. He had previously edited the Donegal Democrat and Donegal Peoples Press.
The Journal, which has been owned by Johnston Press since 2006, is a biweekly. Its Friday issue sold an average of 14,666 copies over the final six months of 2012, its last ABC audit.
