The New York Times has hired Lyndsey Layton as its new deputy editor for policy on the climate desk.

Prior to that, Layton was a metro politics editor and before that, she covered education, Congress and the Food and Drug Administration for The Post’s national desk.

Layton is a graduate of Wesleyan University.
