Josh Quittner, editor of Business 2.0, has thrown his hat into the ring. It seems he’s likely to be the final of five candidates. After the jump, the UC Berkeley J-School release:

To the J School Community:
This week marks the start of the campus visits by dean candidates.
The committee appreciates your active participation in the first of
these visits, and we encourage you to continue meeting with the
candidates and attending their public presentations over the coming
weeks.
We are delighted to report that Josh Quittner, currently the Editor
of Business 2.0, has agreed to come for a campus visit just prior to
spring break. We expect that he will be the final candidate to be
considered by the committee.
Please note that we have rescheduled David Talbot’s campus visit for
mid-March. He was not entirely responsible for this change, but
nonetheless sends his apologies. Neil Henry will give his public
presentation tomorrow evening, and Dianne Lynch will be on campus
early next week.
I have provided the dates and times for the public presentations for
the remaining candidates below. The school will provide information
on the meetings set up for specific constituencies.
Thanks again for your contributions to this important process.
Sincerely yours,
AnnaLee Saxenian
