PoliticsFired US military newspaper editor voices censorship fears

Erik Slavin, editor-in-chief of Stars and Stripes, says he fears censorship and believes he was dismissed by the US Department of Defense for saying in an interview that censorship would be a “red line” in a hypothetical situation. A reporter and the publisher were also fired, and Slavin says he had no right to appeal.
