Over the past decade, the International desk has often turned to Russell Goldman at critical moments. In Hong Kong, he pioneered our approach to live coverage as Covid spread around the world. As weekend editor, he helped direct our report through the first months of the war in Ukraine. Now we have a new job for him: reinventing how we build and shape International coverage for digital audiences every day. He has a keen sense of what our readers care about and what makes a story sing on mobile and the web," said Suzanne Spector, deputy international editor.
