New York Times | Editor & Publisher
Andrew Rosenthal, deputy editorial page editor at the New York Times, has been promoted to editorial page editor, effective January 1. He will succeed
Gail Collins, who plans to take a leave of absence to complete a sequel to her 2003 book "America's Women" and will then return to writing an Op-Ed column next July. "When Andy moved from the newsroom to his position as deputy editorial page editor three years ago, we did not know the degree to which he was a born editorial writer," says publisher
Arthur Sulzberger Jr.. "He has penned some of the most powerful and insightful editorials that have run on our pages." ||
Collins tells Joe Strupp: "I like a five-year cycle. It has been action-packed. I think it has been an amazing time watching the inner workings of the paper."
