Robert Timberg Fired
By Bull Nav
Well, this came as shocking news.
The U.S. Naval Institute, the publisher of Proceedings magazine, has fired its well-known editor, author Robert Timberg.Timberg, a former journalist, was at the helm of Proceedings, a forum for military thinkers for more than 100 years, for about three years. He is the author of several books about naval history, including “The Nightingale’s Song” and a biography of Sen. John McCain.
I remember being mildly excited when I heard that Mr. Timberg had become the editor of Proceedings. I know that in the past, the magazine has not been so much about the purveyor of new ideas, but I think they have been of late trying to provide the outspoken a voice.
I hope his firing is not because he was not toeing the line.
