Maharaj, who rose through the newsroom ranks during a 28-year career at The Times, was one of four high-profile editors who were ousted in August 2017 by Chief Executive Justin Dearborn, a longtime Ferro associate. Maharaj was replaced as publisher by former Fox executive Ross Levinsohn, who lasted in the job just five months. NPR’s Folkenflik was instrumental in Levinsohn’s departure from The Times, after reporting that he had been accused of tolerating sexual harassment at former workplaces.
