2. Leaving Huffington Post UK: Carla Buzasi, Huffington Post UK’s founding editor-in-chief, is leaving that role, Mark Sweney reported Monday in The Guardian. Buzasi’s headed for WGSN.
3. Arrests and a disappearance: People thought to be responsible for beating up journalists in Independence Square have been arrested in Kiev, KyivPost reported Monday. In Nigeria, Thomas Thomas, editor of Global Concord, has been missing since last week, Committee to Protect Journalists reported. Thomas’ colleagues thought the state security service was responsible.
4. Double duty front: From Mladá Fronta DNES, in Prague, Czech Republic, it’s an ad — no, it’s the front page — wait, it’s both. (Front page courtesy Newseum.)
