Joe Kahn has been named the next executive editor of The New York Times, as he takes on one of the most prestigious jobs in journalism and succeeds Dean Baquet.
Kahn, who has been managing editor of The Times since 2016, will succeed Dean Baquet, who is retiring.
In a note to staff, Publisher A.G. Sulzberger wrote that Kahn is “a brilliant journalist and a brave and principled leader” who “brings impeccable news judgment, a sophisticated understanding of the forces shaping the world and a long track record of helping journalists produce their most ambitious and courageous work.”
Kahn will take leadership of the Times in June. Baquet will remain at the Times to lead “an exciting new venture,” but Sulzberger did not provide specifics.
As the second-ranking editor in the newsroom, Kahn has worked closely with Baquet and has been tasked with transforming the paper for the digital era.
“Some will interpret this promotion as a sign of confidence in our current path,” Sulzberger wrote. “That’s true. Under Dead and Joe The Times has grown stronger in virtually every way.”
Kahn previously served as assistant editor for international and international editor. He served as deputy foreign editor from 2008 to 2011, and previously was Beijing bureau chief and reporter in the Washington bureau.
His appointment is the latest change in leadership among major U.S. dailies. The Washington Post last year named Sally Buzbee as executive editor, and the Los Angeles Times tapped Kevin Merida as its executive editor.

William Earl It goes without saying that Variety’s Power of Women New York event is taking place at an exceptionally difficult and divisive time — and while we are gathering to celebrate the formidable achievements of women in entertainment and the charities they generously support, it also goes without saying that there is still a very long way to go, and the importance of having women in power in entertainment is more vital than ever.On the positive side, there are more women in C-suites and positions of power in the music industry than ever before — as Variety noted earlier this year, even the traditional boys’ club of major-label A&R has seen several female executives made heads of those departments. But as the latest USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative report shows, the music industry has a lot of work to do.
