The United States Pentagon has dismissed the leadership of the military newspaper Stars and Stripes, citing insubordination. The individuals affected by the dismissal include editor-in-chief Erik Slavin, publisher Max Lederer, and reporter Lara Korte. Those named have been given a five-day window to respond to the termination notices.
The dismissals follow the publication's recent reporting regarding a United States aircraft carrier. The move marks a significant administrative action against the leadership of the long-standing military-affiliated news organization.
