Jim Rich named Deadspin editor-in-chief. Again.
"My first time around as editor in chief was a blast and I’m looking forward to getting started again."
"My first time around as editor in chief was a blast and I’m looking forward to getting started again."
Rich said the move was unrelated to criticism over Deadspin's coverage of Rachel Nichols' phone call.
Rich received the editorial director job almost six months after Paul Maidment's resignation, and after other G/O Media editors-in-chief turned it down.
Can Deadspin be restored to the site so many loved?
Rich has been named to head the new "Deadspin," but there's little reason to believe it will share more than a name and a URL with the old site.
