Jon Landman '74 named NYT culture editor

The New York Times has named deputy managing editor Jon Landman ‘74 the new culture editor of the paper.

For the last four years, Mr. Landman has headed the effort to unite the printed Times and nytimes.com into a single, seamless operation, giving him a powerful hand in the Web site’s operation at a time when it was rapidly expanding and adding new features.

A Gawker report reprints Executive Editor Bill Keller’s memo to staff regarding the appointment:

I doubt anyone will question that Jon brings to the Culture Department a strenuous intelligence, an inspiring vision, a gift for getting the very best from people and — no small thing as our competitive landscape shifts — a keen appreciation of what culture journalism can be on the Web.
