Former Publisher Of New Yorker Sues Magazine Over Firing

By Newsradio 88 Staff

The former publisher of The New Yorker is suing her boss, saying she was fired because he didn't like that she was pregnant.

In her suit filed in federal court yesterday, Diane Silberstein says the magazine's president Thomas Florio slashed her 340-thousand dollar salary nearly in half after she told him last November she was pregnant.

Her job was then downsized and seven weeks later she was fired.
