May 11: Barry Levine, the former executive editor of the National Enquirer, is the homepage editor of Heavy.com, a news, sports and entertainment site. He started at the Enquirer in 1999 and left in April 2016.
“I’m honored they asked me to bring my news sense to their operation,” said Levine.
The veteran tabloid scribe worked on the story that exposed Tiger Woods cheating on then-wife Elin Nordegren with New York party girl Rachel Uchitel in 2009.
Earlier, he worked on the story that garnered a Pulitzer Prize nomination for the 2007 coverage of the affair of Sen. John Edwards with former aide Rielle Hunter and the love child whom they tried to hide.

March 2: Trump's friend David Pecker, ... CEO of American Media Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer, would have AMI "catch and kill" stories that might be embarrassing for Trump by paying people involved for the exclusive rights to them — but never publishing them.
That's what happened with former Playboy model Karen McDougal before Election Day in 2016 ...
But there was evidently a great deal more to the relationship between Trump and Pecker/AMI than the McDougal case, Cohen said. Pecker's company worked many times to buy embarrassing stories about Trump, even ones that weren't true, which enabled AMI to compile a "treasure trove" of potentially damaging material.
Cohen was so interested in what AMI had accumulated that when Pecker was negotiating to potentially take another important publishing job, Cohen wanted to buy the Trump archive on behalf of his client to ensure it was kept safe.
Who else would know about the "treasure trove" and these practices? Former National Enquirer editor Barry Levine would, Cohen said, as well as a vice president of AMI, Dylan Howard.
