Ross Barkan Apologizes for New York Mag Columns After Ouster: ‘I Promise to Do a Much Better Job’
Journalist Ross Barkan apologized Wednesday for failing to properly cite other journalists’ work in his New York Magazine columns, days after the magazine dropped him following an independent review that found attribution problems in 67 of his columns.
“None of them, genuinely, were willful or intentional,” Barkan said in a statement posted to X. “In the course of writing many columns a week, I did not use citations as aggressively as I should have and did not paraphrase well enough.” He added that he “never intended to crib from anyone’s work” and apologized to journalists whose work he did not properly cite. Barkan said he would “take some time away” and pledged to “do a much better job going forward.”
