Adrienne, who is currently features editor at New York magazine, will be the Magazine’s new deputy editor, Special Projects.
Last year, when Caitlin Roper took on a new job at The Times as executive producer of Scripted Film and TV projects, the Magazine was left without an editor focused on special projects.
Since Caitlin’s departure, we have felt the absence of a person in this job, which is why we’ve been diligently looking for someone new to come aboard in this capacity.
Adrienne is currently a features editor at New York magazine, where she edits longform stories and works on big editorial packages and special issues.
Before New York, Adrienne was a managing editor at The Atlantic, where she oversaw the editorial workflow for the print magazine and collaborations with the digital, podcast, video and live events teams. And before that she was a part of The Atlantic’s special projects team, working across a range of departments and media.
One of Adrienne’s main jobs at the Magazine will be brainstorming and organizing our special issues, and leaning into the Magazine’s capacity to generate big ambitious multimedia enterprise journalism.
Overseeing our special issues is the primary part of this job, but the Magazine often finds itself involved in other special non-magazine projects as well, from virtual reality to live events.
Her wide-ranging intelligence, collegial spirit, ambition, sense of humor and sense of purpose will make her a great addition to the Times, someone who will help define and create the next phase of the Magazine’s life and who will be having an impact on the newsroom for years to come.
