Columbia Journalism School Mourns the Loss of John Bennet | Columbia Journalism School
John Bennet, on the faculty of the journalism school for some twenty years and a member of The New Yorker staff for more than four decades, edited Sy Hersh, Pauline Kael, Robert Caro, John McPhee, Oliver Sacks, Bill Finnegan, Alma Guillermoprieto, Elizabeth Kolbert, Nick Paumgarten, Ben McGrath, Evan Osnos, and many, many others. His authors trusted and adored him; he counted himself lucky to work with them. He was just as devoted to his students at Columbia.
