A Feminist Twitter Campaign Targets Harper’s Magazine and Katie Roiphe<br />In a later interview, Ms. Roiphe said that she herself did not know the identity of the person who started the list<br />and added, “I would never put in the creator of the list if they didn’t want to be named.”<br />Giulia Melucci, a spokeswoman for Harper’s, said, “We’re not going to tell the steps of the editing<br />process.” Through a spokeswoman, James Marcus, the editor of Harper’s, declined to comment.<br />I want to be clear on that.”<br />Claims that Ms. Roiphe’s article would identify someone behind the list appeared on social media around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, when Dayna Tortorici, the editor of n+1 magazine, tweeted<br />that “a legacy print magazine is planning to publish a piece ‘outing’ the woman.” Ms. Tortorici went on to encourage the publication, which she did not identify, not to publish names.<br />By the next morning, five writers were said to have pulled stories planned for future issues of Harper’s Magazine — an effort to pressure<br />the magazine not to reveal one of the creators of a list of men in the media industry accused of sexually inappropriate behavior.<br />“But I think the greater good there is in the ethics of outing someone.” She added<br />that if she knew the name would not appear in the article, it would “conclude my interest in this.”<br />Ms. Melucci, the Harper’s spokeswoman, said she had no knowledge of writers pulling stories from the magazine<br />An email exchange obtained by shows that, during the editing process, a Harper’s fact checker contacted a person said to be a creator of the list<br />and said the article identified her as someone “widely believed” to be one of the people behind it.
