First there was Roger Hodge, who was fired after a disagreement with Mr. MacArthur in 2010. She was followed in February 2016 by Mr. Marcus, an early Amazon employee and the author of “Amazonia: Five Years at the Epicenter of the Dot.com Juggernaut.”“He’s looking for a doormat at this point,” Mr. Marcus said of Mr. MacArthur. Ms. Rosenbush, listed as editor at large on the Harper’s masthead, will oversee the publication on an interim basis, Ms. Melucci said. Mr. Marcus described being fired as “painful,” but said he still had respect for Harper’s. “I think it’s still a magnificent publication,” Mr. Marcus said.
