Sam Sifton Named National Editor at The New York Times

Sam Sifton is now officially the New York Times’ National Editor. Earlier this week Jill Abramson brushed off the rumor, telling WWD, “I’ll pass on that one,” but Brian Stelter just tweeted, “It’s official: dining critic and Twitter star @SamSifton is the NYT’s new national editor.”

Sifton has only been the Times’ Restaurant Critic for two years and doesn’t have much experience with news coverage, but of course he’s going to be excited about the chance to give it a shot.
