Less than a week after both the chairman and finance director of Newsweek Media Group stepped down, several of the publication’s top editors and reporters are also out. While some were let go, at least one has resigned.

Bob Roe, editor in chief of Newsweek since August, and Ken Li, the publication’s executive editor, were dismissed Monday. It’s not clear yet why they were let go.

Celeste Katz, who had been reporting on a Manhattan District Attorney’s office probe of the Newsweek Media Group, was also dismissed.
