New York Times : Mary Suh Named Education Editor

We are excited to announce that Mary Suh will be our next education editor.

Mary is no stranger to many in the newsroom. An editor known for her creativity, intellectual curiosity and rigor, Mary has served as the deputy editor of several sections, including Culture, Politics, the Week in Review and Styles. After a stint at The Atlantic, she came back to serve temporarily as acting Op-Ed editor, and then to Science.

Along the way, Mary has edited many different types of pieces - features, investigations, criticism and projects that challenge traditional forms. She helped lead Culture's coverage of representation issues, with articles like 'What It's Really Like to Work in Hollywood (If You're Not a Straight White Male)' and 'Asian American Actors Are Fighting for Visibility. They Will Not Be Ignored.' She helped Michael Kimmelman with the first multimedia architecture review of the new Whitney Museum. Lately, she's been thinking about psychedelics.

Says Wesley Morris: 'My envy for you education reporters couldn't be deeper. Mary is the consummate editor - rigorous, frank, keen, informed, funny; an advocate for her writers and their ideas. This, in turn, makes her a consummate human being. I don't know where I would have been my first three years here without her.'

Please join me in welcoming Mary to National. She starts today.
