RD Recap: A Firing at the Las Vegas Review-Journal; Hires at Politico

The latest media hirings and firings.

It’s getting ugly at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which Sheldon Adelson purchased last year. The latest is that editor J. Keith Moyer is apparently looking to let go staffers who are disloyal to the publication. One casualty appears to be features editor Stephanie Grimes, who said her goodbyes a week after a meeting about “the importance of company loyalty.” In her words: “I’ve known this was coming from day one. A hyper-conservative middle-aged white man walks into a newsroom and finds a 26-year-old mixed-race woman in charge of an entire department? The humanity! Keith never made me feel welcome in his newsroom and made it clear in every conversation that he didn’t trust me.
