bioghist
{"value"=>"<p>When Robert Silvers died on March 20, 2017 he was succeeded as editor-in-chief by Ian Buruma, who had been a contributor to the <span class=\"title\">New York Review</span> of Books since 1985. Buruma officially became editor in September 2017 and left the post in September 2018. Buruma's departure was the result of backlash over a published essay by Jian Ghomeshi, who had been accused of sexual assault; Buruma defended the publication in <span class=\"title\">Slate</span> magazine and the <span class=\"title\">Review</span> took exception to his comments.</p> <p>In February 2019 Gabriel Winslow-Yost and Emily Greenhouse were named co-editors with Daniel Mendelsohn in the newly created role of editor at large. In February 2021, Greenhouse was made editor of the <span class=\"title\">Review</span>, with Winslow-Yost as senior editor.</p>"}
scopecontent
{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of all Annual Files dated after Silvers' death; he remained editor of the <span class=\"title\">Review</span> until shortly before his death.</p> <p>Because of the shortness of Buruma's editorial tenure and the periods of time in which there was no officially named editor, these materials have been combined into one overarching series.</p> <p>The contents of these files are similar to those in Silvers' series, consisting of correspondence with authors mostly on the subject of potential books to review and manuscripts with annotations. The arrangement also mirrors that of the Silvers series, with files arranged chronologically by calendar year and then alphabetically within each year or set of years by personal name, organization or topic. Many of these files include content that was edited by Silvers before his 2017 death and they are included here based on the latest date of material in the files. Papers filed under \"Ian Buruma\" also appear, consisting of materials relating to the <span class=\"title\">Review</span>'s administration matters.</p>"}
