The New York Times has appointed Weiyi (Dawn) Cai a senior editor in Seoul and Lauren Leatherby a visual reporter in London.

Both journalists will move from New York to the International desk.

Cai will lead multimedia coverage of Asia and she will be a critical voice for how the Times approaches visual journalism across the international report. She will work with two stellar visual reporters in Seoul, Pablo Robles and Agnes Chang, and collaborate widely with correspondents, editors and video and photojournalists.

Previously, she worked The Washington Post and at Reuters, based in Singapore.

Cai graduated from Saint Joseph’s University.

Lauren Leatherby

Leatherby will cover Europe and the Middle East. In her new role, she will work alongside Josh Holder, who has become a critical part of the London newsroom. Prior to the Times, she worked at the Financial Times and at Bloomberg.

Leatherby graduated from Harvard Kennedy School.
