NY Times hires Clary as senior staff editor

David Clary

New York Times associate masthead editor Tom Jolly sent out the following on Monday:

We are pleased to announce that David Clary is joining the News Print Hub as a senior staff editor.
David has worked at The San Diego Union-Tribune for the last 21 years as a news editor with a focus on A1 articles and special projects. He also founded and led the newsroom’s style and language committee.
David grew up near Syracuse, N.Y., and graduated from Syracuse University. He started his journalism career at The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, where he worked for six years in a variety of copy editing and news design roles.
David has also written two books. His first, “Gangsters to Governors: The New Bosses of Gambling in America,” was cited five times in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2018 that legalized sports gambling, making him literally a footnote to history. His second book, “Soul Winners: The Ascent of America’s Evangelical Entrepreneurs,” was published in 2022.
Please join us in welcoming him. He starts today.
