BOSTON | Ex-employee criticizes investigation into top Globe editor
BOSTON— A former Boston Globe employee who accused the newspaper’s top editor of sending her inappropriate text messages is criticizing an investigation that found he didn’t violate the company’s anti-harassment policy.
Former Boston.com writer and editor Hilary Sargent says in a statement issued Friday she’s “incredibly disappointed” by the Globe’s announcement it had cleared top editor Brian McGrory.
Globe officials said Thursday investigators hired by the newspaper found there were exchanges of a personal nature between the two but they were initiated and reciprocated by both of them and did not violate the anti-harassment policy. McGrory has denied harassing Sargent.
Sargent accuses the newspaper of seeking to protect McGrory and punish her for speaking out. She says “the Globe’s journalists and readers deserve better and to know the truth.”

BOSTON | Boston Globe probes text allegation against top editor
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Globe executives said they’re investigating an allegation that the newspaper’s top editor had an inappropriate text exchange with a former employee he once dated.
Hilary Sargent, a former editor for Boston.com, tweeted a screenshot of a text exchange she said occurred between her and Brian McGrory. In the exchange, she says McGrory asked her what she wears when she writes.
The screenshot doesn’t show the names of the people texting and it’s unclear when the texts were sent.
In a memo sent to employees Wednesday, the Globe’s managing director and president said they began investigating the allegation as soon as they were made aware of it, the Boston Globe reported . Linda Henry and Vinay Mehra said they’re seeking more information about the texts and “expect to have a resolution on this matter soon.”
Sargent hasn’t said when the exchange took place and declined further comment Thursday. McGrory and Sargent have confirmed they dated many years ago, but Sargent said on Twitter they weren’t dating when the texts were sent.
McGrory told Globe staff in an email he has no recollection of the exchange and has never harassed Sargent or others. He said he and Sargent have remained friendly over the years, occasionally sending text messages that “included the kind of personal banter of two people very familiar with each other.”
“I don’t believe I have ever acted inappropriately with anyone at this company,” said McGrory, who has worked at the Globe for 29 years. Sargent was an editorial assistant for the Globe in the late ’90s and later worked as both a writer and editor for the Globe-owned Boston.com from 2014 to 2016.
She told the Globe that the newspapers’ lawyers sent her a draft of a lawsuit that seeks to force her to hand over more information, such as the date of the texts.
She told the newspaper: “If Brian McGrory truly does not believe he has ever acted inappropriately with anyone at The Boston Globe, then he and I have a remarkably different understanding of what is — and is not — appropriate.”

Fraidy Local Tabloid Won’t Cover the Boston Globe
What’s with the Boston Herald? As the hardreading staff noted last month, the Herald resolutely refused to cover the Boston Globe’s Chernobylesque home delivery meltdown earlier this year. The Globe itself labeled it a “delivery debacle,” which we wrote “should be mother’s milk to the thirsty local tabloid but . . . nothing.” Now comes the juicy memo from Globe editor Brian McGrory (first…

Why Boston Globe 'Capital' with an A?
Why Boston Globe ‘Capital’ with an A?
It’s been a couple of months since the Boston Globe launched its weekly section Capital, and for the most part it seems pretty fat (12 pages) and happy (exuberant layouts). The only thing even vaguely controversial about the sections is the spelling of its name.
Globe editor Brian McGrory has a running gag with Jim Braude and Margery Eagan on WGBH radio about why it’s Capital with an a not an o. …

Howie Carr-icatures Boston Globe – Again
Nothing cheers up Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr quite like a good case of Globenfreude. So he had to be thrilled with this news:
Note the “Globe Staff” byline: That tells you this is all corporate eyewash that no reporter would attach a name to.
Out of it Carr fashions a three-rail Marty Walsh-John O’Brien-Globe nepotism bank shot.
It’s all relative at Globe
Dear Marty,
This too shall…

Margery Eagan to Boston Globe
Boston Herald columnist Margery Eagan is taking her talents crosstown to the Boston Globe’s Catholic website, according to Two-Daily Town sources. She’ll join the vertical the Globe established for John L. Allen Jr., former correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter.
The feisty local tabloid will be significantly less feisty without Eagan, who’s never been shy about weighing in on all…
