Mallory Rubin and Sean Fennessy, two of the founding editors of Bill Simmons’ sports and culture site The Ringer, are moving up in the ranks. Rubin has been promoted to editor in chief of The…
Co-ordinating their efforts with the Writers Guild of America, East, employees of The Ringer recently notified Simmons of their plan to unionize. Last week, the union was recognized by management after 66 of the company’s 90 employees indicated their intent to join.
In a statement about the editorial promotions, Simmons said they had “been in the works for a while but got complicated by Mallory’s double life as a signature podcast star. She’s one of the best editors in America and unfortunately we couldn’t clone her. We tried. But she’s one of the most talented people I have ever worked with, as well as one of a handful of people who shaped this company and made it what it is.
Fennessy saluted Rubin, who “works harder and with more passion than any person I know.” He added, “I’ve watched her become a celebrated, public-facing figure with pride but little surprise; those who know her well, know she’s always been a star.”
