Alexi McCammond, ousted at Teen Vogue over social media posts, returns to Axios
Alexi McCammond - who resigned as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue in March days before she started the job after an uproar over racially charged social media posts - is returning to her former job as a political reporter for Axios.
On Tuesday, Axios - where McCammond had notable bouts with everyone from Donald Trump to former NBA star Charles Barkley since starting in 2017 - said it was happy to have her back. She had been working at NBC News since her Teen Vogue withdrawal.
"Alexi McCammond is an accomplished journalist and professional," Axios co-founder and CEO Jim VandeHei said. "We're excited and proud that she is returning to Axios."
Some of McCammond's former colleagues at Axios - where she had covered Joe Biden's presidential campaign - were among her staunchest defenders as she got slammed over comments she had made about Asians a decade earlier as a freshman at the University of Chicago.
"I worked with her for four years," Axios political reporter Jonathan Swan said in an appearance on the Fox News show "America's Newsroom." "She doesn't have a racist bone in her body. If we can't as an industry accept somebody's sincere and repeated apologies for something they tweeted when they were 17 years old, what are we doing?"
The hiring of McCammond, 29, initially looked like a step by Condé Nast to diversify its leadership. She had been named "Emerging Journalist of the Year" in 2019 by the National Association of Black Journalists. But when deleted comments she had made a decade earlier on social media complaining about Asians resurfaced, she became a victim of the woke crowd.
She issued several public apologies and Condé Nast, headed editorially by chief content officer and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, initially hoped to weather the controversy.
But editorial staffers at Teen Vogue publicly expressed their anger over the hiring to Wintour and CEO Roger Lynch. As the controversy continued to swirl last March, McCammond and Condé Nast issued a statement saying she had decided to step down.
"I became a journalist to help lift up the stories and voices of our most vulnerable communities," McCammond said in a statement back in March announcing her decision to not take the job.
"As a young woman of color, that's part of the reason I was so excited to lead the Teen Vogue team in its next chapter. My past tweets have overshadowed the work I've done to highlight the people and issues that I care about - issues that Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world - and so Condé Nast and I have decided to part ways."
Wintour cast a wide net in her search for a replacement for McCammond, and in May announced she would be succeeded by Versha Sharma from NowThis News.

Condé Nast to Lay Off About 100 Employees, Furlough Another 100
The news comes a month after the publisher announced an initial round of pay cuts and furloughs
Condé Nast, the publisher of magazines like The New Yorker, Vogue and Vanity Fair, will lay off about 100 employees and furlough around another 100, according to a memo from CEO Roger Lynch sent out Wednesday. The move comes a month after a first round of pay cuts and furloughs was announced in April to combat the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which is ravaging digital media and publishing. In the staff email, reviewed by TheWrap, Lynch said he was "deeply saddened" and noted he and other executives had "hard to turn over every stone before having to make job reductions that would impact our teams" before deciding on the layoffs.
"Today, we are taking additional cost savings actions that are specific to our U.S. teams. These steps will result in just under one hundred team members in the U.S. leaving Condé Nast, and a similar number of people in roles that can't effectively work during this period being temporarily furloughed. There will also be a handful of people with reduced work schedules," he wrote. Employees losing their jobs will receive severance packages and "job placement resources" while furloughed employees will have their health care premiums covered. Those affected by the layoffs, furloughs and structural changes will be informed Wednesday.

BuzzFeed News Halts Local Coverage of UK and Australia
BuzzFeed News plans to stop reporting on Australia and the UK, a spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap Wednesday. Further, Tom Namako has been made deputy editor in chief.
Citing "economic and strategic reasons," they said BuzzFeed News is "going to focus on news that hits big in the United States during this difficult period." "Therefore, we will notify staff in the UK and Australia that we are not planning to cover local news in those countries. We will be consulting with employees on our plans regarding furloughs and stand-downs in these regions," they continued. "In the UK, we still plan on retaining some employees who are focused on news with a global audience - social news, celebrity, and investigations."
In America, four non-bargaining unit employees were furloughed but the spokesperson said BuzzFeed News is "open to considering other options in our negotiations, including workshare programs," provided the options meet savings goals and are legally and logistically workable. BuzzFeed News will be inviting the NewsGuild to help investigate if it's possible to do "workshare" programs instead of furloughs. The company's news division will spend around $10 million more than it takes in this year, dropping that number to $6 million next year. BuzzFeed is just one of many companies undertaking cost-cutting measures as the coronavirus pandemic ravages the economy. Wednesday, publisher Condé Nast began the process of laying off just under 100 employees and furloughing a similar number.

Q Research General #11624: Anons Handle the News With Care Edition
OAN demands Vanity Fair retract 'malicious' & 'defamatory' claims that Donald Trump Jr. invested in network
The President of One America News Network, Charles Herring, has published a blistering letter calling on Vanity Fair to retract claims that Donald Trump's eldest son secretly bought a stake in the news outlet.
The scorching legal threat specifically targeted Vanity Fair correspondent Gabe Sherman as well as Roger Lynch, the CEO of Conde Nast, accusing them of publishing "false, malicious and defamatory statements" about the conservative cable network.
Herring posted a copy of it on Twitter, tagging Sherman and Conde Nast, which is Vanity Fair's parent company.
A more user friendly copy of @OANN's Notice to Retract Defamatory Statements issued to @GabrielSherman and @CondeNast is available at: https://t.co/vE7WWTp6U3
- Charles (@CharlesPHerring) May 8, 2020
In the letter, Herring specifically takes issue with a Vanity Fair story from Monday, which reported, citing anonymous sources, that Donald Jr. was among a group of investors who have acquired a major stake in OAN, which Herring privately owns.
Sherman's reporting claimed that the investment was a Trump family hedge against what they view as an insufficiently loyal Fox News, and a potential haven for the Trump brand, should the president lose the November election.
The OAN president flatly denied that any stake in the company has been sold "to anyone or any entity, period." He also added that no agreements are in place for any future sales.
Herring described Sherman's reporting as "littered with anti-Trump sentiment", saying this was a "clear indication" of the reporter's motivations to print "clear, malicious, and defamatory statements" against the network.
"Your motives seem clear: to strip OAN of any legitimate independence in its reporting by propagating fake and defamatory statements," Herring wrote.
We will not stand by and allow your lies to be disseminated.
The letter demanded a public retraction of the story's claims and called on Sherman and Conde Nast to publicly apologize. It also instructed them to preserve all materials related to the reporting, in anticipation of possible legal action.
