Michael Oreskes resigned on Wednesday as NPR's chief editor after he was accused of sexual harassment that dated back to the 1990s, when he worked at The New York Times. He added that he informed Jarl Mohn, president and CEO of NPR, earlier in the day that he would step down. Oreskes was initially placed on leave after the allegations of sexual assault came out in a report by The Washington Post. Folkenflik said another woman felt empowered to come forward with their experiences with Oreskes following bombshell allegations against other media figures. NPR CEO Jarl Mohn reportedly sent the staff a memo regarding sexual harassment and urged employees to file complaints against any staff member who engaged in inappropriate behavior.
