Power duo in journalism: Editor Mark Guiducci of Vanity Fair and White House correspondent Shawn McCreesh from The New York Times are in a relationship.
In the world of media, a new power couple has emerged, causing ripples in the industry. Mark Guiducci, the new editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, and Shawn McCreesh, the New York Times White House correspondent, have been making headlines recently.
The latest controversy revolves around Guiducci's reported intention to feature First Lady Melania Trump on the cover of Vanity Fair. A source claimed that this idea was met with resistance, with an editor threatening to walk out if the cover went ahead. Guiducci, it seems, is keen on exploring the topic of MAGA culture, a subject that is currently the "biggest, juiciest story right now" according to reports.
However, Trump allegedly rejected the offer to be on the cover. This isn't surprising given the editor's reportedly strong stance against the idea, stating, "If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it. I will walk out the motherf-king door, and half my staff will follow me... If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe's, I'll do it... It sickens me."
This isn't the only controversial idea Guiducci has floated. A source also mentioned that he wants coverage on what he has dubbed, "The Real Housewives of Mar-a-Lago."
Meanwhile, McCreesh, who is well-regarded in the media scene, having worked at the New York Times under Maureen Dowd and at New York Magazine, has returned to the Times following the couple's romance, which began in May after they met at a cocktail party on the Upper East Side. Upon his return, a memo sent to NYT staffers praised his journalistic skills and the "stylishness" of his prose.
The couple was recently seen mingling with elite guests in Paris, France, for the wedding of Charles Porch and Robert Denning. The events, organized by the upscale event planning firm Lanza & Baucina, which also managed Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, promise to be a lavish multiday affair for over 400 guests, with festivities taking place at the Museé Rodin, Château de Villette, and Hôtel de la Marine.
Despite the controversy, it seems that Vanity Fair is not going right-wing and is only interested in covering conservative culture, according to another source. As this media power couple navigates the complexities of the media landscape, one thing is certain: they are not shy about making headlines.
