The New Yorker published an essay on March 21 by actress Amanda Peet, who revealed her private breast cancer battle, diagnosed last fall following a routine scan, detailing her experience from diagnosis to treatment. Previously, an article in The New Yorker on March 20 connected two "Afrikaners in America" narratives, exploring Donald Trump's focus on the persecution of white South African farmers and a demographic shift in the American South, highlighting the deep irony between these themes. Earlier in March, The New Yorker highlighted a discussion on March 16 with "In the Dark" host Madeleine Baran regarding the third season of her podcast, a four-year investigation into a high-profile U.S. war-crimes prosecution. The conversation addressed challenges of reporting on the U.S. military, crafting audio stories from data and documents, and the importance of longform investigative journalism. This followed William Finnegan reporting for The New Yorker on a criminal trial in Europe on March 12, before he attended a launch party for a new magazine, Now Voyager, in Harlem.
