New York Press Is Hiring. Again
For the second time in a year, the editor-in-chief of New York Press has resigned after a clash with management. Harry Siegel took over the paper last October, having earned the affections of the paper’s former owner (and behind-the-scenes influencer) Russ Smith.
Last night, Seigel told the New York Observer:
New York Press, like so many other publications, has suborned its own professed principles. For all the talk of freedom of speech, only the New York Sun locally and two other papers nationally have mustered the minimal courage needed to print simple and not especially offensive editorial cartoons that have been used as a pretext for great and greatly menacing violence directed against journalists, cartoonists, humanitarian aid workers, diplomats and others who represent the basic values and obligations of Western civilization.
