Gript Media has confirmed it has suspended its editor John McGuirk “pending an internal process concerning governance and related issues”.<\/p>\n
In a statement this evening, it said that the suspension is not related to editorial differences.<\/p>\n
It also said that “no final determination has been made” and that it “cannot comment further while the process is ongoing”.<\/p>\n
Mr McGuirk has also issued a statement this evening.<\/p>\n
He said the Gript statement was unilaterally issued by the company and without his consent.<\/p>\n
“For the avoidance of doubt, I reject the substance of the claim against me referred to by the company in its statement entirely and without equivocation,” he said.<\/p>\n
He said: “Further, I reject the notion that the company has engaged in anything approaching a ‘process’ – these matters have taken six weeks so far but with no resolution in sight.<\/p>\n
“Across those six weeks, I have not been invited to a single meeting, asked to give evidence, or been given the opportunity to respond meaningfully to the company’s concerns in relation to any matter.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gript Media has confirmed it has suspended its editor John McGuirk “pending an internal process concerning governance and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-439260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
