Things are again starting to look bright for Jezebel, as, as promised, Paste Magazine founder and CEO Josh Jackson has relaunched it on Wednesday by naming Lauren Tousignant as its new editor-in-chief.
Commenting on her new role, Tousignant said:
“I am thrilled to lead Jezebel as the editor in chief.
“This is a brand that helped me forge my own identity as both a journalist and a feminist, and I’m honored to have the chance to lead Jezebel into its next era — an era that includes the 2024 election and a political landscape where reproductive rights continue to be mocked, threatened and banned.
“I’m committed to building upon Jezebel’s legacy and delivering more of everything that’s made it such a crucial voice over the last 16 years.”
Previously, she had served as interim editor-in-chief. She freelanced and worked at the New York Post for more than eight years. There, she held the posts of associate digital reporter/producer, digital reporter/producer, and associate digital editor.
She was a stylist and then served as a style editor at Jerk Magazine. She interned at Harper’s Bazaar and Elle Magazine.
Tousignant has a B.S. from Syracuse University.
