Leading digital journalist Kevin Anderson has taken voluntary redundancy from the Guardian.Digital research editor Anderson, who will leave the Guardian on 31 March, is the latest addition to the list of staff leaving the title as part of its voluntary redundancy scheme.
Several staffers have announced their departure from the business, media and sport teams as part of the scheme, which will see around 40 editorial and production staff from Guardian News & Media (GNM) leave.
During his time at the Guardian Anderson was part of the team responsible for the Guardian's network of blogs and completed a "multimedia US roadtrip" reporting on the US presidential elections in 2008.
Prior to joining the Guardian, Anderson worked for the BBC, where he developed a blogging strategy for BBC News and helped launch the interactive radio programme World Have Your Say. Prior to moving to the UK, he worked for the BBC in the US as the Washington correspondent for BBCNews.com.
Speaking in a blog post about his decision to leave the Guardian, Anderson says: "It's been a real honour to work at the Guardian and I'm grateful to everyone who helped me. We've achieved a lot in the past three-and-a-half years, although it felt like we were always impatient to do more. Despite the wrenching changes in journalism right now, I'm optimistic."
Anderson is not leaving to take up another job offer, he adds, but is considering "a number of exciting possibilities".
