Jack Shafer No Longer a New York Times Magazine Ethicist

Erik Wemple confirms Capital New York's scoop.

The three-headed monster that is the current configuration of the New York Times Magazine’s The Ethicists podcast and column has a new third head. Per Washington Post media columnist Erik Wemple, out is Politico’s Jack Shafer, replaced by NYU philosophy professor Kwame Anthony Appiah. Shafer had been on this beat since February.

From Wemple’s item:
