Questions on Direction

Manager of Las Vegas Review-Journal Is Removed, but Questions on Direction of a Paper in Las Vegas remain
Billionaires buying newspapers is nothing new.

However, across Las Vegas — and inside the Review-Journal newsroom — there are heightened concerns about the paper’s direction.

“The purchase of the Review-Journal signals a tectonic shift in the political landscape of Las Vegas and Nevada and has the potential to reverberate all the way to the White House,” the Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith wrote last week. Mr. Smith filed for bankruptcy in 2007 while defending himself in a libel lawsuit brought against him by Mr. Adelson, who eventually dropped the case.

Mr. Adelson has already become a newspaper force in Israel, the country where his wife was born. In 2007, he started a free daily there, Israel Hayom, and has used it as a powerful weapon in support of the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
