- inSharA very public spat between the editor of The Monthly John van Tiggelen and his predecessor, Good Weekend editor Ben Naparstek, has got publishing circles abuzz.
Fairfax metro media editorial director Garry Linnell has fired back at claims from The Monthly editor John van Tiggelen that popular magazine insert Good Weekend has never “looked so bereft” as it does under editor Ben Naparstek.
In a stunning email, which has been widely circulating at Fairfax and is published in The Australian today, van Tiggelen attacks Naparstek as a “f-cking dalek” who steals writers and ideas and pays writers wildly different rates. Naparstek, 27, was van Tiggelen’s predecessor as editor.
At least one Good Weekend regular, former Fairfax journalist Lisa Pryor, has already threatened to stop writing for the magazine unless they increase her pay.
