Former Associated Press reporter Bob Lewis will start a new job in media relations with the law firm McGuireWoods on Nov. 11, Mike Allen reports.
According to McGuireWoods’ press release, Lewis will “lead McGuireWoods’ communications team implementing internal and external media strategies in support of its more than 900 lawyers in 19 offices worldwide and its public affairs subsidiary, McGuireWoods Consulting.”
The AP fired Lewis in October after he wrote a story that said then-Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe lied to federal investigators. AP quickly retracted the story, and fired two other staffers as well.
On Twitter, Lewis said he was “Fired up”:
Proud to be joining @McGuireWoods as senior manager, media relations. Fired up and ready for a new challenge with a great firm!
