Pamela Paul will manage the Daily and Sunday Book Coverage for The New York Times.
Paul has been with the company since 2011. In 2013, she was named editor of the Book Review section.
Dean Baquet, the executive editor, announced the news with a letter. Here’s an excerpt: “It will be Pamela’s job to think about how our coverage should change and, of course, how it should not change. (We will, for instance, maintain our Sunday Book Review. It is hard to imagine the paper without it.) Above all, we believe we have a significant opportunity to expand the audience for our books coverage.”
