Refinery29 editor-in-chief Christene Barberich steps aside after former staffers call out the company's racist culture
after reading the “raw and personal accounts of Black women and women of color regarding their experiences inside our company at Refinery29,” she now understands that Refinery29, which is currently owned by VICE Media Group, has to change. To that end: “I will be stepping aside in my role at R29 to help diversify our leadership in editorial and ensure this brand and the people it touches can spark a new defining chapter,” Barberich writes.
In an internal memo acquired by Jezebel, VICE’s CEO Nancy Duboc writes to staff that Barberich will stay with the company through a transition period as Refinery29 looks for a new EIC and will “remain a part of our community as one of R29’s founders.” In addition to opening the position up to internal candidates, Duboc also writes that leadership positions currently frozen in a hiring freeze will be open for recruiting with an emphasis on diversity.
