Condé Nast’s New Yorker magazine will hire its subcontracted fact-checkers and editors as direct employees, a change that comes amid ongoing contract negotiations with the magazine’s newly unionized staff.
The 94-year-old title, which is known for literary and investigative journalism, is one of several Condé Nast publications that relies on subcontractors technically employed by a company called Global Employment Solutions.
