The New York Times’ film critic A.O. Scott is moving to a new beat.
Scott, who has reviewed more than 2,200 films for the Times over the last 23 years, will shift to The New York Times Book Review where he will “write critical essays, notebooks and reviews that grapple with literature, ideas and intellectual life,” according to a memo to Times staff from Sam Sifton, Gilbert Cruz and Sia Michel Tuesday.
“In many ways this is a natural progression,” they added in the note. “Tony was a literature concentrator at Harvard, graduating magna cum laude in 1987, and is a graduate-school dropout in American literature (Johns Hopkins: thank you, next!). He started his journalism career as an assistant to Robert Silvers at The New York Review of Books and was soon contributing reviews there, as well as to Slate and, of course, to Newsday.”

Matt Duckor, who led lifestyle programming for Condé Nast, has left the company in the wake of a storm at Bon Appétit and the reappearance of past tweets from Duckor making racist and homophobic comments.
Former Bon Appétit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport resigned earlier this week after a photo of him in brownface resurfaced online and staffers called out race-based pay inequity at the food brand. Media companies across the spectrum have been recalibrating and in some cases responding to internal strife as protests continue after the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in May.
The departure of Duckor, who joined Condé Nast in 2011, was confirmed to Deadline by a company spokesman, who had no further comment.
After being the first to report Duckor’s exit, Business Insider said an investigation into his conduct was under way at Condé Nast. Although Duckor’s Twitter account is now private,...
