The following excerpt was sent out from The Washington Post’s foreign editor Douglas Jehl, deputy foreign editor Jennifer Amur and Seoul hub global breaking news editor Kendra Nichols:
We are very happy to announce that Joyce Lau will join The Post as a breaking news editor in our hub in Seoul.
Joyce is a deeply experienced editor who spent a dozen years at the New York Times’ Asia headquarters in Hong Kong and has also worked for other publications. She has been a copy editor, Sunday assignment editor, page one editor and higher education editor, showing a nimbleness that will serve her well in her latest role.
Joyce is returning to a newsroom after taking a break to raise her children. She recently completed a master’s degree in journalism at the University of Hong Kong, and she has also worked as Asia editor for Times Higher Education, the U.K.-based publication.
Before joining the Times, she was arts editor at the South China Morning Post. She studied English literature at McGill and was a fellow at Oxford University’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
Joyce will start work on Oct. 17. She will work remotely from Hong Kong until the end of the year, when she will relocate to Seoul.
