In the 1970s, Harper's Magazine published Seymour Hersh's reporting of the My Lai Massacre by United States forces in Vietnam. In 1971, editor Willie Morris resigned under pressure from owner John Cowles, Jr., prompting resignations from many of the magazine's star contributors and staffers.
Robert Shnayerson, a senior editor at Time magazine, was hired to replace Morris as Harper's ninth editor, serving in that position from 1971 until 1976.
Lewis Lapham, who became editor in 1976, attended the 1973 Bilderberg meeting.
Lapham was succeeded as Harper's editor by Roger Hodge in 2006, who later became Deputy Editor at Pierre Omidyar's The Intercept, a cushy job.
Ellen Rosenbush served from 2010 to 2015. She returned in January 2016, when MacArthur fired Christopher Cox, who had been named editor only three months prior in October 2015.[1] Cox - supposedly - was fired over his plans to redesign the magazine's cover.[2]
James Marcus was hired in February 2016 and fired in March 2018. Marcus claims that his time with the publication came to a sudden end after he was fired after opposing a #MeToo cover story by Katie Roiphe. John R. MacArthur, president and publisher of the magazine, wanted to run a contrarian piece on the #MeToo movement,” an idea that Marcus didn’t agree with.[3]
