'Oxford American' Names New Editor Following Harassment Scandal

Former 'Harper's' editor gets job

Southern literary journal The Oxford American has named Roger D. Hodge as editor in chief, less than two months after its founding editor, Marc Smirnoff, was forced out over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Hodge, a Texas native, has had substantial experience in the world of highbrow literary magazines, having served as the editor of Harper’s from 2006 until 2010. Since then, Hodge has penned a book titled The Mendacity of Hope and contributed to magazines like Men’s Journal and Texas Monthly.
