We are thrilled to officially announce that Diego Ribadeneira is growing his editing portfolio to include coverage of Canada, an area ripe for big stories, especially in a year with a critical national election and a possible trade war with the United States.
Diego, who is based in New York, continues to oversee our excellent coverage of South America and other parts of the region, and has already jumped in to edit our Canada team. Our Canada bureau chief, Matina Stevis-Gridneff, says that soon after she arrived at her post, “Canada was serving up major news curveballs.” She adds, “Diego has been a calm, steady and deeply engaged leader and partner as our bureau has revved up to manage the new normal.”
Diego started his career as a reporter for The Boston Globe, where as the Latin America correspondent, he covered the leadup to NAFTA in Mexico and the aftermath of the overthrow of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. He then shifted gears to become an editor and worked on the coverage of the 9/11 attacks and the Pulitzer-winning stories about the Catholic clergy sexual abuse scandal.
In April 2004, Diego joined The Times on the Metro desk, where he worked with reporters to look at why the New York City subway was becoming so unreliable and the coronavirus’s toll on public transit and offices. On International, he has driven stories on the Darién Gap, the tainted Venezuelan election, Brazil’s Jan. 6 moment and Haiti’s unraveling.
He says that what truly brings him the most joy as an editor is managing reporters, honchoing breaking news and delivering impactful enterprise.
Please take a moment to congratulate Diego.
