Atlantic editor apologizes for seeming to suggest that only white males can write cover stories:
Editor in Chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg attends the 2018 Ellie Awards in New York City.
The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, has clarified and apologized for remarks that drew heavy criticism when he appeared to suggest that only white men can write 10,000-word cover stories.article on how the magazine has placed more women in editorial positions, The Guardian reports. Goldberg stumbled in the interview when he seemed to insinuate that assigning cover stories to women and minorities is problematic.
“We continue to have a problem with the print magazine cover stories — with the gender and race issues when it comes to cover story writing. It’s really, really hard to write a 10,000-word cover story. There are not a lot of journalists in America who can do it. The journalists in America who do it are almost exclusively white males,” he said.
If Jeffrey Goldberg thinks there's a lack of women who can write 10k word features, then he's astonishingly ignorant about his peers & he should step aside for a woman to replace him. Immediately. I'm gobsmacked by this interview. Stunned. What an insult.
