Margaret Sullivan, outgoing public editor at the New York Times, has been hired by the Washington Post as its newest media columnist.
Sullivan officially joins the WaPo this spring. She’ll pen a weekly column for the paper which will “encompass everything related to digital media, and how that transformation is affecting people’s lives and work, along with journalism, news literacy, privacy and free speech, and media personalities,” according to a release posted today on WaPo's website.
Sullivan, who announced her departure from the Times in December, currently pens the Public Editor’s Journal blog, and had famously been critical of the Times’ use of anonymous sources, which allegedly resulted in inaccuracies made during that paper’s coverage of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks.
Sullivan, a former editor and vice president of the Buffalo News, was the first woman to hold the Times public editor role, and spent nearly four years in that ombudsman position, which details the Times’ inner workings, the longest serving public editor the paper has had to date.
