New York Times Names Marc Lacey and Carolyn Ryan as Managing Editors

Ms. Ryan, 57, is a deputy managing editor who most recently led recruiting for The Times, overseeing the hiring of more than 400 journalists, and she helped lead its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Before that, she was the paper’s political editor, Washington bureau chief and metropolitan editor.

Ms. Ryan will be the first openly gay journalist to serve as managing editor of The Times. Mr. Lacey is the third Black journalist to serve in the role, after Gerald Boyd and Dean Baquet, the current executive editor.

Mr. Kahn also announced four deputy managing editors.

Rebecca Blumenstein, currently the deputy editor in the publisher’s office and a deputy managing editor, will lead recruitment and operations. Sam Dolnick, currently an assistant managing editor, will continue to spearhead The Times’s expansion into audio, video, email newsletters and televised documentaries.

Steve Duenes and Clifford Levy will remain deputy managing editors. Mr. Duenes will oversee The Times’s visual and multimedia journalism. Mr. Levy will focus on ethical standards and journalistic independence, as well as training for editors throughout the newsroom.

Matthew Purdy, currently a deputy managing editor and a force behind many of The Times’s major investigative projects, will take on a senior, as-yet-undefined role, Mr. Kahn wrote.
