RD Recap: Top Editors Resign From Gawker; New Hires at Country Living

Tommy Craggs and Max Read resign from Gawker Media. They were executive editor of the company and editor in chief of the flagship site, respectively. The departures come after founder Nick Denton took down a controversial post. This can be seen as a principled stand against power or a ridiculous and overly dramatic martyrdom, depending on your point of view. If you’re a betting person, don’t expect these to be the last resignations stemming from the incident.
