The Star’s Robyn Doolittle is moving to the Globe

Robyn Doolittle’s reporting on Rob Ford—especially Crazy Town, her book-length treatment of Ford’s political and personal life—has made her the single reporter most associated with the Toronto Star’s city hall bureau over the past year. Now, in what is maybe the Toronto-media equivalent of Roy Halladay going to play for the Phillies, Doolittle says she’s moving to the Globe and Mail, to work on the paper’s investigative team.
Here are her tweets from earlier today:
I started at the Toronto Star back in 2005 as a radio room reporter. I am so profoundly grateful and proud to have worked there.

Now I'm off to the Globe and Mail to join their investigative team. I'm so excited for the new challenges coming my way.

She’ll be in good company. Sports columnist Cathal Kelly left the Star for the Globe last week, after spending 14 years working for the former.
Toronto’s Zoe Barnes! Luck for her that Rob Ford won’t go near public transit.
Noooooo!!
