You might have heard: After buying The New Republic in 2012, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes has put the magazine back up for sale, saying it needs a new business model
But did you know: The New Republic’s longtime literary editor Leon Wieseltier disputed rumors that he’s buying the magazine, but Wieseltier is starting a new publication with Laurene Powell Jobs. The new publication is unnamed right now, but will “discuss the effects of technology on our lives and think critically about it.” But, Wieseltier is clear that this new publication will not be a reboot of The New Republic: “I can’t imagine a more distressed asset. [Chris Hughes] vandalized it. He sacked it.”
