Newsweek in Chaos as Top Editors, Reporters Fired and New York Staff Sent Home
“I am going to lead the f—ing revolution,” says one current Newsweek employee
Newsweek fired editor-in-chief Bob Roe and executive editor Ken Li Monday. Additionally, TheWrap has learned that the publication has parted ways with the top reporters of its investigations unit, including Celeste Katz and Josh Saul. International Business Times reporter Josh O’Keefe was also dismissed.
Employees who were not fired were sent home Monday — potentially without pay, TheWrap has learned.
“IBT employees were not paid last night,” a current Newsweek employee told TheWrap. “They claimed we were about to get paid by 3 and 5 today and if we don’t get paid by 5 I am going to lead the f—ing revolution.”
They fired “everyone on that investigative team and a ‘payroll error’ last night means nobody in the company got paid,” said the employee. “They are apparently in a ‘work stoppage’ and being sent home for the day.”
As the Daily Beast reported, members of the Newsweek investigations unit had written several pieces critical of the company in recent days, something an internal source within the company suggested was related to today’s actions.
“They were all independently working on a story about ‘the Church,’ a.k.a. our owners,” said the employee.
A second Newsweek insider said a general panic had swept remaining employees.
“We were told that we were “welcome to go home” earlier today, but no one has left. Everyone is downloading their articles off the website, talking with their sources and transferring their work contacts. The unofficial general agreement is to stay for more information but not work at all. There is alcohol out and most people are just comforting each other,” said the individual.
“The idea of walking out on the job in response to our owners firing Bob and Ken was briefly discussed.”
A Newsweek insider said that CEO Dev Pragad would meet with the remaining editors at some point later today to further explain the situation.
A rep for Newsweek Media Group, which oversees both IBT and Newsweek, has not responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
On Friday, Newsweek’s chairman, Etienne Uzac, and his wife, finance director Marion Kim, both left the company after a report in BuzzFeed said that the media company had engaged in ad fraud and used dodgy tactics to artificially increase traffic.
Last month, Newsweek’s office was raided by the NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for reasons that remain unclear. Employees at the time reported that officers had been taking pictures of computer servers.
Also last month, the company’s chief content officer, Dayan Candappa, was placed on leave after sexual misconduct accusations at a previous employer surfaced.

The Mexican's Revenge!
Judge Curiel, once attacked by Trump for his Mexican heritage, to preside over wall case
District Judge Gonzalo Curiel,
who was targeted by the president while he was the judge of a class-action lawsuit against the president's now-defunct Trump University,
will on Friday hear the case brought by the state of California, some environmental groups and Rep. Raśl Grijalva , D-Ariz.
It challenges waivers that were given to the federal branch more than 10 years ago to bypass some federal and state laws for border security.
The case, which was initially three separate lawsuits before being consolidated by Curiel, represents a substantial legal challenge to the construction of Trump's potential border wall.
Andrew Gordon, a former Department of Homeland Security lawyer during the Obama administration, told McClatchy, which first reported the story, that
a ruling against the administration could slow plans for construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, even if the ruling is later overturned.
"This is a very significant case," Gordon told the news service.
