NY Times Names A New ‘Culture Czar’

The new executive editor of The New York Times, Bill Keller, has promoted Adam Moss from the paper’s Sunday magazine to “assistant managing editor for features.” The position amounts to an appointment as the Times’ new ‘culture czar,’ and will give Moss control over the “Book Review, Culture and Style sections, Travel, Circuits, Real Estate, Escapes and special sections of the magazine.” Moss was previously offered a similar position by former Times editor Howell Raines, but declined.
