Linda Greenhouse to leave New York Times

By Akin Gump Supreme Court Practice Group

According to media reports, Linda Greenhouse, the New York Times’ Supreme Court reporter for most of the last 30 years, has accepted a buyout offer from the newspaper. In an email, Greenhouse said she planned to cover the Court through the end of the term, though she also noted that the Times had not officially accepted her acceptance of the offer, as the buyout window remains open until March 5.

News of Greenhouse’s decision was reported first at the National Review online (see here). Click here for an account from the Associated Press, and here for one in the New York Observer.
