NY Times promotes Martínez to deputy editor in Seoul

Andrés R. Martínez

The New York Times has appointed Andrés R. Martínez to deputy editor of a new breaking news hub in Seoul.

The Times reports:

“In this new dual role, he will report jointly to the editors of Live and Express and supervise our teams in Asia.

“Under Andrés’ direction, the Seoul hub will work collaboratively to shape priorities on major Live storylines while also responding to the voracious demand for the breaking, trending and sometimes offbeat stories that have become an Express signature.

“The hub will add relevance and urgency to our top stories, while serving as an early warning system for all manner of other news during the waking hours in Asia.”

Martínez joined the Times newsroom in 2021 as a senior editor/correspondent on the Live team. His most recent post was that of senior editor for Live in Asia.

He worked as a senior editor for newsroom internships at The Wall Street Journal.

He was at Bloomberg for more than 12 years, where he held the posts of reporter and Accra bureau chief, a role in which he coordinated coverage of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

Martínez has a B.A. in journalism from New York University.

Be sure to congratulate Martínez on X/Twitter.
