Guy Vidra is the first chief executive for The New Republic.[1] He is the former head of Yahoo! News, where, in his own words, he had "direct responsibility for the management of the world's largest news site."[2] He was also the head of Strategy & Development at Yahoo News.[3]
His appointment to The New Republic provoked a major crisis within the publication. The magazine’s literary editor, Leon Wieseltier; executive editors Rachel Morris and Greg Veis; nine of the magazine’s eleven active senior writers; the legal-affairs editor; the digital-media editor; six culture writers and editors and thirty-six out of thirty-eight contributing editors, resigned or asked to have their names removed from the magazine’s masthead. In all, two-thirds of the names on the editorial masthead were gone.[4]
Education
Vidra holds a BA in Political Science from University of Michigan and a Masters in International Relations from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.[citation needed]
