Editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal Resigns After Sheldon Adelson Takeover

HeadlineDec 23, 2015

The top editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal has resigned less than two weeks after billionaire and major Republican Party donor Sheldon Adelson secretly bought the newspaper for $140 million. Editor Michael Hengel resigned days after the Review-Journal published an article indirectly critical of its new owners. Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke reacted to the resignation, tweeting: “I’ve never used the word noble before but then I’ve never worked for someone as noble and ethical as Mike Hengel.”
