The Financial Times has named its first female editor since it was founded in 1884.
Roula Khalaf will take over from Lionel Barber, who announced on Tuesday that he would leave in January after 34 years at the pink-coloured financial newspaper. Ms Khalaf, his deputy, said she was"thrilled" to be running"the greatest news organisation in the world".Tsuneo Kita, chairman of Nikkei, said:"I have full confidence that she will continue the FT's mission to deliver quality journalism without fear and without favour."Ms Khalaf has been with the FT for 24 years. Her roles have included running its Middle East coverage during the Iraq war and the 2011 Arab Spring.
She has been the deputy editor since 2016, overseeing strategic planning and the launch of"Trade Secrets", which covers global trade. Mr Barber said he was leaving"the best job in journalism" after a 14-year tenure and 34 years at the paper.After 14 years, I am stepping down as editor in the New Year. It has been a rare privilege and a great pleasure to hold the best job in journalism. Full statement to follow
