Blog November 28, 2018 5:30 PM EST TIMOTHY JOHNSON
A veteran producer for the National Rifle Associations media operation, Cameron Gray, announced today that he and several of his colleagues had been laid off from NRATV.
Some personal news: Just shy of my 10-year anniversary, me and several colleagues had their positions terminated this morning
So, if you have or know of any jobs available in the DC-area, or any that can be done remotely, please let me know

The layoffs follow reporting on the NRAs most recent tax filings, which show a $55 million drop in revenue between 2016 and 2017.
Gray was most often seen on NRATV as a producer and occasional guest host for Cam & Co., a weekday three-hour talk radio-style broadcast that covers gun issues as well as general conservative interest stories. Gray wrote on his LinkedIn profile that he has worked on the show since 2009. Cam & Co. was first launched in 2004 with host Cam Edwards as the flagship of the NRAs media operation, which was then called NRA News. Cam & Co. was also broadcast on the Sportsman Channel beginning in January 2013 through its cancellation by the network in June 2015. It remains to be seen whether Cam & Co. will continue to be broadcast; the November 28 broadcast of the show was a repeat of the previous days episode.
Media Matters has been a frequent critic of misinformation about gun violence that permeates Cam & Co.s programming, most notably the show's incessant -- and incorrect -- argument that more permissive access to firearms leads to lower levels of gun violence and frequent false claim that guns are used to stop crimes more often than they are used to commit them.
In October 2016, NRA News rebranded itself as NRATV with the aim of offering more live programming. NRATV broadcasts via online streaming at NRATV.com, on satellite radio, and through Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire. As with NRA News, NRATVs operations are supported by the gun groups advertising firm, Ackerman McQueen.
