| Emily Greenhouse and Gabriel Winslow-Yost | |
Emily Greenhouse and Gabriel Winslow-Yost have been named co-editors of the New York Review of Books, which has been without a top editor since the sudden departure of Ian Buruma last September "amid an uproar over the publication and ensuing defense of an essay about the #MeToo movement," the New York Times reported. In making the announcement, NYRB publisher Rea Hederman also said that longtime contributor Daniel Mendelsohn will assume the newly created role of editor at large.
Greenhouse, who was most recently managing editor of the New Yorker, worked at the Review in 2011 and 2012 as an editorial assistant to Robert Silvers, who co-founded the publication in 1963 with Barbara Epstein and died in 2017. Winslow-Yost began working at the Review, also as an editorial assistant to Silvers, in 2009, rising to the position of senior editor.
Greenhouse and Winslow-Yost told the Times they believe that their longtime friendship, and most importantly the time they spent working together for Silvers, will help them share power.
