As a freelance journalist, Mounk has written for the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Slate, and German weekly newspaper Die Zeit, of which he had been co-editor since 2023.
As of February 2024, the Atlantic cut ties with Mounk, and he was suspended from the editorial board of Die Zeit after journalist Celeste Marcus publicly accused him of raping her in a post to X (formerly Twitter).[3][4][5]
