It also follows shortly after the backlash that both Esquire and Fielden received when a year-long investigation into allegations of sexual assault against director Bryan Singer by two of the magazine’s staffers was killed by Hearst and later published by The Atlantic. Fielden joined Hearst in 2011 as the editor-in-chief of Town & Country, later moving to Esquire in 2016, though he stayed on T&C’s masthead as its editorial director at the same time. He started his career in the magazine media industry at Condé Nast, where he held various roles at The New... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
