'New York Times' Names Margaret Sullivan Public Editor
Will act as reader advocate
The New York Times is getting a new watchdog editor, the newspaper announced today. Margaret Sullivan, who served as editor and vp of the Warren Buffett-owned Buffalo News for the past 12 years, will take the public editor’s post at the Times on Sept. 1, replacing current public editor Arthur Brisbane.
As the Times’ fifth public editor, a position that was created in 2003 following the Jason Blair plagiarism scandal, Sullivan will be responsible for acting as a reader advocate, addressing concerns and critiques and increasing transparency.
