Curley on Leave as Newsroom Votes No Confidence | Spokane News
Description
Rob Curley, executive editor of The Spokesman-Review, is on administrative leave after newsroom staff voted no confidence in his leadership amid multiple personnel complaints — some involving Comma Community Journalism Lab, the nonprofit he co-founded. An outside investigator and legal counsel will review the situation, with Comma staff working remotely for two to three weeks while Managing Editor Lindsey Treffry steps in to lead. Despite the turmoil, the transfer of ownership to Comma remains on track, delayed only slightly. Publisher Stacey Cowles emphasized that internal issues won’t affect the community journalism mission or the historic Cowles family’s legacy. Privacy will be maintained as the probe proceeds, but staff’s unified stance signals deep concern over leadership direction.
