Rem Rieder

Rem Rieder, who has been writing a media column for USA Today’s Money section for the past three years, was among those laid off at the paper as part of Gannett’s announcement earlier this week to drop 2 percent of its staff.

Rieder had joined the paper as media columnist and editor at large in July 2013 after a long career at the now-defunct American Journalism Review, where he had been editor since 1991.

Before that, Rieder had been executive editor of States News Service from 1989 to 1991 and assistant managing editor for news at the Milwaukee Journal. He was also a deputy metro editor for the Washington Post and a city editor for the Miami Herald.

Rieder is a graduate of Harvard University.
