<em>NYT</em>'s <em>T Magazine</em> Hires Sally Singer as Editor

T: The New York Times Style Magazine has tapped Vogue fashion news and features director Sally Singer, the Times announced today. She starts July 5. Singer joined Vogue, a Conde Nast title, in 1999, and has also worked at New York, Elle and British Vogue. "Sally has the combination of aesthetic sense and intellectual curiosity suited to a style magazine that wears the name of The New York Times," said Times executive editor Bill Keller in a statement. "We were looking for someone with the imagination and taste to envision the next generation of this extraordinary franchise, and the experience to make it happen." Singer had previously been mooted as a potential replacement for Patrick McCarthy, who is leaving fellow Conde Nast magazine W at the end of this year. As it turned out, W picked then-T Magazine editor Stefano Tonchi for the top spot. The search for a Tonchi replacement has been longer than expected; the Times originally had planned to fill his shoes by early May. Read more about Singer in this 2009 Mediabistro Q&A.
