NYT Editor Resigned After Investigation Into Alleged ‘Inappropriate Behavior’ With Women

The New York Times has confirmed that Wendell Jamieson resigned from his job this week after being accused of “inappropriate behavior” with three former colleagues.

There was a noticeable lack of clarity on Monday when the Metro editor stepped down following an unknown “investigation” into his affairs. According to the Times, two people close to the investigation said that Jamieson was “engaged in inappropriate communication.”

“Leading Metro for the last five years and working with the incredible Times team has been the high point of my professional life. I regret ​and apologize for ​my mistakes and leaving under these circumstances,” Jamieson said in his statement announcing his resignation. “I’m especially proud of all the talent I’ve helped bring to The Times. Susan Chira is a wonderful editor, a true New Yorker, and I know Metro will rise to even greater heights under her leadership.”
