Ian Buruma, the top editor of The New York Review of Books, has left his post in the wake of his defense of publishing an essay by disgraced Canadian ex-radio host Jian Ghomeshi.
The exit follows a similar, widely criticized radio defense by the publisher of Harper’s magazine of a piece written by accused #MeToo perpetrator John Hockenberry.
The Ghomeshi piece is billed on the cover of the august periodical’s current issue, which explores the theme “The Fall of Men.” Headlined “Reflections From a Hashtag,” the essay aims to shed light on the fate of men who have been accused of misdeeds and the reputational price they pay in the #MeToo era. Ghomeshi is known for co-founding the Canadian public radio show Q, a Fresh Air-like program featuring interviews with a cross-section of cultural and political figures. It airs nightly in New York on Wnyc and on dozens of other U.

In a video discussion filmed by The Cut, actress and activist Rose McGowan led a discussion with an impressive group of seven women who have spoken on the record about their experiences with sexual assault at the hands of Hollywood elites and Donald Trump. The candid dialogue covered a wide range of topics, including the culture that enabled their abuse to go unchallenged, the power of anger, and whether or not real change is possible. “My beef is really with all the people who are complicit,” McGowan said, later adding a challenge for the media to “stop using the word alleged.”

“There are two asteroids corrupting media,” bellowed radio host John Hockenberry at the start of the Tribeca Film Festival’s “Stories By Numbers” panel last week. The first, viewing patterns; the second, data streams. “Narratives,” he opined, pacing before Beau Willimon, David Simon, Nate Silver and Anne Thompson, “are becoming indistinguishable from vices.” It’s no secret that Netflix’s limitless entree into consumer preferences has informed much of its success in the realm of original content. Hockenberry noted that big brother Sarandos can scrutinize viewing behavior down to its utter minutiae: “what people skip over, what sex scenes they replay, is all fed back...

Applying design forensics to the boom years: Will drab black and gray be remembered as minimum-security rather than minimalism?
It's one of the strangest footnotes of the entire Bernard Madoff scandal: Newspaper accounts of the episode noted his obsessive insistence on furnishing both his triplex headquarters in the midtown Lipstick Building and his London office in a matching palette of black and gray. He was notorious for demanding a monochrome décor consisting of furniture made from black ash, gray walls with black detailing and black mouse pads. He even had a black refrigerator for the trading floor, and according to New York, "he drank out of square drinking glasses, kept his pencils in square holders, and had only square trash cans in his office. He couldn’t stand curves, which must have presented an obvious problem for a man who works in an oval building."
His focus on minimalism and order traveled with him.
