Alex Spence of Politico writes, “Roula Khalaf, the foreign editor, has been promoted to replace John Thornhill, who is moving into a new digital ‘innovation’ role, the FT’s editor Lionel Barber announced in an internal memo on New Year’s Eve.
“The newsroom is buzzing with talk of other senior moves. ‘More changes are to come,’ Barber said in the note, which was obtained by POLITICO Monday.
“Khalaf, an experienced foreign correspondent who has spent years reporting on the Middle East, will take up her role on February 1. She will be the first female deputy editor at the newspaper since Chrystia Freeland, who is now Canada’s minister of international trade.
“Thornhill, who has served as deputy since 2012, becomes innovation editor. ‘John will lead our efforts to develop next generation digital comment and put technology at the heart of our editorial coverage,’ Barber wrote in the email to staff.”
