RD Recap: Grantland Loses Staffers; McClatchy Shutters Foreign Bureaus

The latest media hirings and firings.

Here we go: Grantland departures started to leak on Friday evening when James Andrew Miller, chronicler of all that goes on behind the scenes at ESPN, tweeted about “4 highly regarded” staffers saying goodbye. He didn’t have names, but SI.com’s Richard Deitsch reports that they are Sean Fennessey, Juliet Litman, Mallory Rubin and Chris Ryan, and that they are all headed to work for Bill Simmons. That’s a pretty pop culture-focused foursome, which gives some hint about what Simmons, who already has a show lined up with HBO, is thinking next.
