The Las Vegas Review-Journal and columnist John L. Smith have parted ways over editorial disagreement after the paper kept Smith from writing a column about casino moguls Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson. Adelson’s family purchased the paper last December. Smith joined the Review-Journal in 1988 as a columnist.
The outpouring of support from friends and strangers has been overwhelming. Thank you all so much.
