I’m delighted to announce that Michal Leibowitz is rejoining Opinion as a staff editor, adding her breadth of ideas and interests and her excellent editing skills to our firepower as we ramp up 2024 election coverage.
Michal will edit Ross Douthat’s Friday newsletter on politics and culture and will commission and edit guest essays in those subject areas as well. She will also edit other columnists, newsletters and the blog during vacations and crunch times like the conventions and the election run-up.
During her last stint at The Times, Michal supported Ross and David Brooks as an editorial assistant. She also commissioned and edited guest essays on culture and politics; among the pieces we worked on together was Stanley Kurtz’s essay “The Battle for the Soul of the Library,” where I saw up close Michal’s enthusiasm for heterodox ideas and thinkers, as well as her strategic instincts and collegial touch in working with writers. She also wrote vivid Opinion essays on courtship, individualism and life after the pandemic. Before that, she served as the associate editor of The Jewish Review of Books.
Michal holds a B.A. in philosophy and religious studies and an M.A. in religious studies from Stanford University.
Please join me in welcoming her back to The Times.
