Vanity Fair Hires Olivia Nuzzi as West Coast Editor in Editorial Revamp

The appointment follows an outside review that found no bias in her work after New York magazine said an undisclosed relationship breached its standards.

Overview

  • Vanity Fair said Nuzzi will edit across platforms with a focus on events, industries and culture of the Pacific region, and she will also write for the magazine.
  • The role was announced as one of 12 staff additions under new global editorial director Mark Guiducci, who lauded the newcomers’ “fearlessness.”
  • Nuzzi departed New York magazine in 2024 after revealing a personal relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which the outlet deemed a conflict-of-interest violation.
  • A third-party review by law firm Davis Wright Tremaine concluded there were no inaccuracies or evidence of bias in her reporting.
  • Nuzzi acknowledged the move on X, saying she was honored to join the publication.
