NY Mag Junior Editors Peeved Andrew Sullivan, Daily Mail Reports

READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Andrew Sullivan teased the media with tweets on Tuesday as to the reasons for his upcoming departure from New York Magazine, with his final column on Friday. In one, tweet he wrote: "I've been preparing for this eventuality, and the column will continue elsewhere. See you on Friday, when I'll detail some exciting news."

Today, though, "Sullivan had tweeted that his column wouldn" t="" be="" running="" in="" mid-June="" and="" Cockburn,="" an="" American="" blog="" run="" by="" UK-based="" news="" outlet="" The="" Spectator,="" claimed="" it="" was="" because="" editors="" didn't="" want="" him="" writing="" about="" the="" riots.="" "
"The blog claimed, citing a source close to New York magazine, that Sullivan had to have his work vetted by sensitive junior editors to make sure it doesn't trigger them before being published."

"Neither Sullivan or the magazine commented at the time."

But do not expect Sullivan to unleash an ad-hoc attack on his colleagues as Bari Weiss did in her widely reported .

Sullivan wrote of his work experience' target='_blank'> "I'm sad because the editors I worked with there are among the finest in the country, and I am immensely grateful to them for vastly improving my work. I'm also proud of the essays and columns I wrote at NYM - some of which will be published in a collection of my writing scheduled for next year."
"While Sullivan didn't give specific reasons for leaving the magazine, he said he had 'no beef' with his colleagues," wrote the Daily Mail.
