New York Times opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury sent out the following on Monday:
We are delighted to announce that Annie-Rose Strasser will be joining The Times as the new executive producer for Opinion Audio. She will lead the team of editors, producers, engineers, hosts and others who make and promote “The Ezra Klein Show,” “First Person” and “The Argument” — and also think creatively about new Opinion Audio opportunities. We’re excited for her to bring her sharp editorial eye, brilliant ideas and inspiring leadership experience to the department.
Annie-Rose comes to The Times after nearly seven years at Gimlet Media. During her time at Gimlet, she edited 10 different shows, ranging from serialized documentaries to chat shows to children’s fiction — and many other formats in between. She helped to develop and launch several Gimlet podcasts including “Science Vs,” “Every Little Thing’ and “The Nod,” and also worked in acquisitions and piloting.
Most recently, Annie-Rose helped to develop, launch and run “The Journal,” a daily podcast that covers news through the lens of business, in partnership with The Wall Street Journal. Under her leadership, The Journal won multiple awards for both its daily coverage and its limited run series. The show has won a Polk Award, an Online Journalism Award and an Overseas Press Club Award, and was a finalist for an Association of Magazine Editors Award.
Prior to working at Gimlet, Annie-Rose was the managing editor for BuzzFeed News, where she managed operations across two continents, four newsrooms and 150 people. We’re thrilled to have her audio brain and her digital news brain in Opinion.
