New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.
Teen Vogue did brave work—much braver than most of its Conde siblings. This was clearly an attempt to silence the best political coverage in corporate media. Few covered the pro-Palestinian protests or trans rights or left electoral politics like TV. https://t.co/PqQjKSaJ5A

Former Paris Review editor Lorin Stein was ostracized over sexual harassment allegations. Now he’s editing the divisive, right-wing magazineTablet. What’s going on? @andrewfed investigates.
