Malone named new NY Times Sunday biz editor

New York Times business editor Ellen Pollock sent out the following:

I’m thrilled to announce that Noreen Malone has joined Business as Sunday Business editor.

Noreen comes to us from Style, where she was enterprise editor. Before joining The Times, she hosted Slate’s “Slow Burn” podcast. Noreen was features editor and then editorial director at New York magazine, where she edited stories on Harvey Weinstein and sexual harassment that won a National Magazine Award. As a writer, she was a member of the team that won a 2015 George Polk Award for the magazine’s coverage of assault allegations against Bill Cosby.

At Style, Noreen edited memorable stories including the recent Cheryl Hines profile, the deep dive into Elon Musk’s social life and Mark Zuckerberg’s workout routine.Last year, she wrote “The Age of Anti-Ambition” for the Magazine.

“Noreen brought many wonderful long-form features and creative ideas to Style, and I look forward to seeing her hone her keen sense of storytelling on a new subject,” said Stella Bugbee. “She is a real writer’s editor, and the many reporters on Sunday Biz are lucky to have her.”

Our former colleague Nick Summers, now at New York magazine, had something to say about Noreen, too: “Sunday Business is truly one of the best perches at The Times: a place to create big, good-looking, powerfully written journalism. We’ve often talked about it as a magazine within the department, and with her hybrid glossy/broadsheet background, Noreen will fit in perfectly.”

Noreen specializes in assigning stories that are unexpected, thought-provoking and just plain great, as we’ve already seen in her brief time with us.

Please welcome Noreen!
