Pamela Paul will be joining The New York Times Opinion as a columnist. Paul is the editor of The Times Book Review, the author and editor of eight books and the host of the Book Review’s popular weekly podcast.
She begins in April.
She was an arts correspondent for The Economist and joined the Times in 2011 as a children’s books editor, and originated the By the Book feature and the 10 Best Books live podcast and event.
“Pamela was a hugely innovative and creative books editor,” said Dean Baquet, executive editor of the Times. “She brought new voices into the section, and was fearless in protecting the independence of the books report.”
