New Yorker fires reporter Ryan Lizza for sexual misconduct
NEW YORK — The New Yorker magazine said Monday it has cut ties with well-known political reporter Ryan Lizza for alleged sexual misconduct.
The magazine recently learned Lizza had “engaged in what we believe was improper sexual conduct,” a spokeswoman said. After reviewing the matter, it cut ties with the reporter.
Lizza is also a contributor on CNN. A spokeswoman for the cable news network said he will not appear on air while it looks into the matter.
Lizza called that the New Yorker’s decision a “terrible mistake” made without a full investigation.
