After months of speculation, first internal and then external, the nonprofit news organization The Bay Citizen &amp;mdash; roiled by the resignations of its editor-in-chief, Jonathan Weber, and its CEO, Lisa Frazier, in the fall, and then the death of its founder and primary benefactor, Warren Hellman, in December &amp;mdash; officially announced in March that it would be merging with Berkeley's Center for Investigative Reporting, effective May 1."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
