St. Charles, Ill — The Champaign Room’s Jim Vainisi announced Tuesday that Jim Vainisi plans to step down from his role as Managing Editor, effective whenever his replacement is identified. Vainisi will remain on the website’s staff in a new role.
In three years, Vainisi guided The Champaign Room to over 7.93 million page views while logging a site-record 1,894 blog posts. Unfortunately, his legacy will be defined by his failure to cover a single NCAA Basketball Tournament over that time span.
I’ve been running TCR for three years now, and while I’ve loved absolutely every moment, I think it’s about time to transition into a different role with the site.
