It's still not clear who will be the next editor of the New York Times

Those who got the reviews, which were overseen by an outside career-consulting firm, were told it was an honor because it meant they were seen as future leaders of the. As part of the exercise, everyone met with Baquet individually, and feedback about the editors was provided by several-dozen colleagues around the organization, most of it anonymously.

“For some, the comments were just brutal,” said a source familiar with the process. “People were incredibly frank. Those in the know were peering through the glass trying to get a sense of how shell-shocked the person was at the results.” Among the crop of participants, Lacey’s name is now being kicked around in a way that it definitely wasn’t just a few months ago, when the whole thing still looked like a face-off primarily between Kahn and Bennet, with Levy rising up in the wings. “There’s been a real effort to elevate Marc Lacey,” one insider told me. “Marc Lacey’s stock has risen really high,” said another. “He was never slotted in, and now all of a sudden he is.

Yes, Lacey is Black, but he also happens to be a highly respected newsroom figure who has been running one of the’ most important news reports of the moment, the national section, now home to coverage of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 electorate, and America’s smoldering season of unrest. Sources noted that Lacey was chosen to co-moderate one of the Democratic primary debates last fall, as well as being asked to moderate a company-wide Zoom meeting in the wake of the Cotton fiasco .

This same source emphasized a point that came up in several of my conversations for this piece. In the past, there has often been a single most obvious heir apparent. Baquet was that person in 2014, just aswas in 2011. Baquet wants the next go-round to be different, and he feels it’s incredibly important to give Sulzberger a true slate of heirs, any one of whom would be fully qualified to take over the newsroom. In a sense, that could end up being one of Baquet’s most enduring legacies.

Immigration to New York City Declines, Amplifying Economic ConcernsNew York City’s economy depends on immigrants, but at a time when it needs all the help it can get, the flow of new residents from overseas is slowing.
