19 Months After Slashing Reporting Team, NYT Adds Climate Editor (Who Used To Interview CEOs)

[hatrack]

About 19 months after closing down its special team of environmental reporters, the New York Times has named Adam Bryant as editor overseeing climate change and environmental issues for the paper's science coverage. Bryant announced the news on Twitter on Tuesday, noting that he will scale back his other responsibilities at the Times as part of the move.

Bryant had been serving as a columnist for "Corner Office," in which he interviewed chief executives on management and leadership. The column had run twice a week but will now run once a week, according to his Twitter post.

The Times closed down its "pod" of seven reporters in January 2013. Then managing editor Dean Baquet, who has since taken over as the paper's executive editor, claimed that the change would not drastically impact coverage of the topic. “We can tell the story just as well without the infrastructure,” Baquet told Times public editor Margaret Sullivan.

Less than three months later, the Times also closed down the "Green" blog, which followed energy and environmental news.
