The New York Times said on Tuesday that Clifford J. Levy, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and a leader of the newsroom’s digital initiatives, will be its next metropolitan editor. Mr. Levy, 51, has served as a deputy managing editor since 2016, overseeing The Times’s online platforms. His appointment signals a renewed focus by The Times on its coverage of New York City. He belongs to a cohort of Times editors who could emerge as contenders to succeed Dean Baquet, who currently holds that position.
