Emmis Publishing, the publisher of the Texas Monthly, initiated a lawsuit on Friday against the Monthly's current editor, Jake Silverstein, and the New York Times for breach of contract. Last month, Silverstein was hired as the editor of the New York Times Magazine. UPDATE: Emmis claims they're only suing the Times.

Texas Monthly editor Jake Silverstein is the new editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine. According to Politico, Silvertein started out as “a reporter for the Big Bend Sentinel, a weekly newspaper in Marfa, Texas.”
