Paul Watson is still listed on the Los Angeles Times staff roster as the paper's man in Jakarta, but he's headed to the Toronto Star. Note to the staff there:

Today, the Toronto Star announced the return home of Paul Watson, Canada’s only Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. After a distinguished career as a foreign correspondent with the Los Angeles Times, Paul is returning to launch a unique venture – the world’s first multimedia Arctic-Aboriginal beat.

Climate change, new technologies and the voracious global demand for energy and other resources have set off a rush to exploit the Far North unlike any other in history. Paul is an accomplished photojournalist and best-selling author with two decades experience as a foreign correspondent in Africa, the Balkans and Asia. He has earned an international reputation for bravery, integrity, determination and an uncanny ability to find those must-read stories.
