A leadership dispute at The Spokesman-Review grew into an internal newsroom revolt, according to staff accounts shared with InvestigateWest and RANGE Media. Employees said their concerns about Rob Curley’s direction continued to build before the suspension. The suspension came in August, shortly before ownership was expected to move to Curley’s nonprofit. The conflict puts the paper’s leadership and planned ownership change at the center of local attention.
