Editor of US newspaper Stars and Stripes reportedly fired under Trump

The Pentagon has fired the editor-in-chief of the Stars and Stripes, a prominent United States military newspaper, as well as one of its top reporters. Erik Slavin, the editor-in-chief, told The Associated Press (AP) news agency on Friday that he received a notice of separation, along with the newspaper’s Middle East reporter Lara Korte.

Another notice was sent to Max Lederer, the paper’s longtime publisher, who had previously announced he would retire at the end of September. Slavin credited the termination notices to the group’s decision to speak publicly about efforts to defend the editorial independence of the Stars and Stripes newspaper.
