Vanity Fair Names Olivia Nuzzi West Coast Editor in Staff Revamp

The appointment marks her return following a suspension at New York magazine over a relationship with a former source.

Previously, Nuzzi, 32, served as New York magazine’s Washington correspondent until it was revealed she had an online affair with the HHS head.

Overview

  • Vanity Fair announced that Olivia Nuzzi will serve as West Coast editor, editing across platforms with a focus on Pacific-region events, industries, and culture, while also contributing as a writer.
  • Her hire is one of 12 newly unveiled roles under global editorial director Mark Guiducci as part of a broader retooling of the magazine.
  • Guiducci said the new cohort shares a love for Vanity Fair and a fearlessness he has sought to help lead the publication’s next phase.
  • Nuzzi left New York magazine last fall after disclosing a personal relationship with a former reporting subject, which the outlet said violated conflict-of-interest standards following a review that found no inaccuracies or bias in her work.
  • Reporting has identified the subject as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Nuzzi’s exit unfolded alongside personal legal disputes with then-fiancé Ryan Lizza that she later withdrew.
