Odds On New York Layoffs
No one at New York magazine seems to think they're getting fired under the new regime of Times-man Adam Moss. And maybe that's so.
Or, maybe that's not so. After "extensive research," I'm pleased to announce our exclusive handicapping of...
Who's Going To Get Fired If And When Incoming Editor Adam Moss Starts Chopping Heads at New York Magazine:
| Staffer | Odds of Getting Canned |
| Caroline Miller, editor | 1:1 (Her year-long contract is paid in full and she's off to the races. Or the Bahamas.) |
| Sarah Jewler, managing editor | 1:4 (Why hire someone new to pay contributors slowly?) |
| John Homans, executive editor | 1:12 (Moss surely wouldn't can a fellow blue-pencil afficianado.) |
| Chris Dougherty, photo director | 1:5 (But can he book Ryan McGinley?) |
| Jon Gluck, deputy editor | 1:3 (Deputy, sheriff, whatever.) |
| Joanna Coles, articles editor | 4:5 (Danger, Joanna Coles, danger. This is where new editors look to make their mark.) |
| Jeremy Gerard, features editor | 2:3 (See also: Joanna Coles.) |
| Simon Dumenco, editor-at-large | 1:5 (Beloved, but doesn't he edit his own magazine now?) |
| Jared Hohlt, senior editor | 1:24 (Who do you think does all the work over there?) |
| Amy Sohn, contributing editor | 1:3 (Single gal's life scriber got married.) |
| Sarah Bernard, contributing editor | 1:5 (Has she won the New York mag employee longevity award yet?) |
| Beth Landman, contributing editor | 1:3 (Not winning most popular beauty editor trophy in that office any time soon.) |
| Deb Schoeneman, contributing editor | 1:10 (Every mag needs a party-going gossip-lover with a strong liver... unless there's no more gossip page.) |
| Elizabeth Spiers, Jacob Bernstein, and fashion director Harriet Mays Powell | 1:8 (New hires are often the first to go, but it's not Moss's style. It'd be like kicking puppies. Well, puppies with really sharp teeth.) |
