G/O Media has turned to a veteran editor to lead Deadspin, the sports website that has been rudderless since its entire staff resigned last fall to protest the company’s chief executive. Jim Rich, the former top editor of the New York Daily News, will start as editor-in-chief of Deadspin on Monday. Mr. Rich, who will report to G/O Media Chief Executive Jim Spanfeller, will be based in Chicago, the result of a decision earlier this month to move Deadspin away from its New York offices.
