New York Review of Books editor out after backlash over Jian Ghomeshi essay

TORONTO - "New York Book Review" revised personal articles written by disgraceful former Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio Moderator Jian Ghomeshi, admitted "severity" of his argument, overseeing the work Sharing the praise of the editors who are.

Ian Bromma, who was appointed Editor in the New York Book Review at the end of 2017, confirmed on Wednesday that the publication no longer functions.

A few hours after the news were released, the magazine added an editorial in response to the last week's debate which caused strong opposition from those who believe that Gomesh should not have such a famous platform.

Ghomeshi became acquitted in March 2016 with four sexual assault charges and a suffocation crime including three complaints. In May 2016, he apologized to the fourth appellant and signed a peaceful bond in which another sexual assault had occurred.

In an article entitled "Reconsideration from the label", Gomesh published articles online on Friday and said that his postwar life is a "poster boy" of male bad behavior. He expressed regret over the attitudes of people who have treated him, but kept questioning his argument.

Critics immediately accused the article as a selfish bid for public rehabilitation. They stated that the explanation of Gomezi clarified the seriousness of the scandal and asked if the work was verified correctly.

On Wednesday, the magazine added an editorial clarifying Ghomeshi claims, how they emerged, and some details on subsequent legal proceedings.

"The following article is causing many criticisms and should include recognition of the author's serious nature and number of claims," ​​this memo wrote.

Immediately after the first publication on Friday, Bulma defended his editorial ruling in an online interview with Slate, Gomesh said, "It is a very important matter and this problem is not unduly exposed" Stated.

Buruma said he was not really "worried" because he was unable to know the exact nature of Ghomeshi's alleged cheating and he was innocent of court.

"The only thing I know is that he was innocent, he is not welcomed, as he is now criticized by the public," he told Slate's interviewer.

"For me, the interest in this article is the sense of the place and what we should consider."

You can feel that it was built earlier this week. Ian Bruma, editor of the New York Book Review, was fired for turning his staff up and posting an article on Ghomeshi about the assertion of sexual assault and harassment unduly impairing his career . After that the media caused an echo. Harper announced a similar article at about the same time and was also attacked. Women's accusations unduly end the fear of men's career, and what is impossible for men is boiling. However, it is necessary to take a position and have sufficient power to support it in order to maintain this position.

I recently talked about the decision to announce Gomezi's work to Mr. Ian Buluma, Editor of New York Book Review, which is controversial. (Complete disclosure: I've seen Buruma many times, after he took over NYRB last year, he gave me a job.) Of publishing people who are acting badly Ethics, and why the special nature of Ghomeshi's behavior is not Burma's "point of concern".

Now, Ghomeshi posted a long article called "Reflection from Hashtag" in "New York Book Review". Among them, the purpose of Gomeshi is "to inject nuances into his story", he said he already faced "enough shame in his life". A victim of 'big humiliation'. He also claimed that he learned some lessons and made him a better person: "I have heard, read and thinking over the years". He still denied majority claims. Harper announced John Hawkebury's first-person long article and was accused of harassing several female colleagues last year at WNYC. .
