The New York Times named two senior editors to new positions Thursday, filling in spots left open by a changeover in the top editorial ranks at the newspaper.
Andrew Rosenthal, currently the foreign editor, will become an assistant managing editor, a title shared by six other executives. Roger Cohen, the deputy foreign editor, will become acting foreign editor. Both promotions are effective immediately.
Former deputy managing editor Gerald Boyd was named managing editor in July, leaving John Geddes as the only remaining deputy managing editor.
The editorial changes began in May, when the paper announced that editorial page editor Howell Raines would be taking the place of executive editor Joseph Lelyveld, who was retiring.
Former managing editor Bill Keller, who had also been in the running for executive editor, became an op-ed page columnist and senior writer for
The New York Times Magazine.
Rosenthal, who is 45, joined
The New York Times in 1987 from The Associated Press, where he was Moscow bureau chief. Cohen, 46, joined the paper in 1990 as a media reporter. He had also been a foreign correspondent for
The Wall Street Journal and Reuters.
