(JTA) — Leon Wieseltier, the former longtime literary editor of The New Republic, is teaming up with Steve Jobs’ widow to form a new publication. The venture has not been fully conceptualized, but their journal will look at the effects of technology on people’s lives, among other things, New York magazine reported last week. Laurene Powell Jobs, whose net worth is approximately $17 billion, also is a funder and board member of the news site OZY Media. Wieseltier resigned from The New Republic in December 2014 after the magazine’s majority owner, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, fired the editor-in-chief, Franklin Foer. Since then, Wieseltier has been a contributing editor at The Atlantic and a fellow at the Brookings Insitution. In Jan. 2015, he wrote an essay in The New York Times Book Review bemoaning the state of modern life, technology and criticism. Wieseltier is the child of Holocaust survivors and the author of Kaddish, among other books.
