Michel joined the Times in 2007 as a pop music editor. Later, she held the posts of editor of Arts & Leisure and deputy culture editor. She was the primary editor of Wesley Morris in his run to a Pulitzer Prize in criticism in 2021, then brought us a prize again in 2022 with Salamishah Tillet, reports the Times.

She was editor in chief of Spin, making her the first woman to edit a major-circulation rock magazine.
