The New York Times Co. has hired Deborah Needleman, editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal’s high-end fashion magazine, to edit T: The New York Times Style Magazine. She replaces Sally Singer, the Vogue editor who left T in August after a two-year run.
Jill Abramson, executive editor of the New York Times said in a statement that Needleman is “a creative and innovative editor with an impeccable sense of style and design. As we look to expand and extend T and continue to evolve it for our loyal and sophisticated New York Times audience.”
Her job is to “strengthen the franchise and re-imagine its future on all platforms,” added Abramson.
Needleman was founding editor-in-chief of Conde Nast’s Domino magazine, which launched in 2005. Domino shut down in 2009.
Previously, Needleman covered the style, design and gardens beat for Slate and House & Garden. She began her career as a Washington Post photography editor.
The Times publishes T, which covers style, fashion, design and travel, 15 times a year.
Besides serving as e-i-c of WSJ. Magazine, Needleman was in charge of the “Off Duty” lifestyle section of the weekend newspaper.
