"According to informed sources, Hughes and Vidra didn’t bother to inform Foer that he was out of a job. Instead, the editor was placed in the humiliating position of having to phone Hughes to get confirmation after Gawker.com posted an item at 2:35 p.m. reporting the rumor that Bloomberg Media editor Gabriel Snyder, himself a onetime Gawker editor, had been hired as Foer’s replacement."

Yikes. Reading about your replacement's hire on Gawker has got to be one of the worst ways to find out you're fired. I'm not surprised to see a shakeup at TNR, but to see it handled so badly is shocking.
