Moloney sacked

Journalist of the moment, Ed Moloney, has been sacked from his job on the Sunday Tribune newspaper, so reports the subscription only Irish News:

"Mr Maloney, who has reported for the paper for 16 years, said he was “shocked” when a letter from the paper’s outgoing editor Matt Cooper, terminating his contract, was delivered to his New York home. Speaking to the Irish News from New York, Mr Maloney last night said “basic natural justice” had been ignored and that he was taking legal advice."
