The New York Times said Joseph Kahn will serve as its next executive editor, taking over a newsroom that has grown significantly in size and complexity in recent years.
Mr. Kahn, a Times veteran and former Wall Street Journal staffer, was most recently managing editor. He succeeds Dean Baquet, who served as executive editor for nearly eight years and is stepping down shortly before turning 66. The customary retirement age for executive editors at the Times is 65.
