From The NY Observer:

The New Yorker has hired Amelia Lester, most recently an editor at the Paris Review, as their new managing editor.

Ms. Lester, 26, a Sydney native who graduated from Harvard, used to be a fact-checker at The New Yorker and checked all-star writers Sy Hersh and Jane Mayer.

Sigh…
