New Chapter for “The Daily”

Nazanin Rafsanjani is joining "The Daily" in a new role as managing editor. Nazanin brings decades of experience across audio and TV journalism - at NPR, MSNBC and WNYC Radio - along with a track record of building successful teams and developing new storytelling formats. Nazanin was central to creating Gimlet Media, where she was one of its most prominent leaders through years of tremendous growth and success. She then obtained a law degree and worked in the legal department of media companies before making her way back to the editorial side.

At "The Daily," Nazanin will work closely with Paige on managing the team and overseeing operations, helping to establish the show's long-term vision and its editorial priorities and setting us up for growth. She will also partner with colleagues across the building to support the show and the team.

Nazanin starts on Nov. 17 and will report to Paige, who will report to me. Please join me in congratulating Paige and welcoming Nazanin to The Times.
