The New Yorker’s archive editor says that she was fired after raising concerns about gender inequality at the magazine and publicly accusing its editor-in-chief of inserting errors into her articles.
Erin Overbey announced her firing in a Twitter thread on Monday. Her update came less than a week after she claimed she was put on a “performance review” after raising concerns about gender disparities at the magazine. She also alleged that “factual errors” that the outlet citing during her review were in fact inserted into her copy by David Remnick, the New Yorker’s editor-in-chief.
Overbey said she was considering filing a grievance with the paper’s union over her firing—and that she had the evidence to back her claims up.
