Some news: On January 21, I’ll be stepping down as editorial page editor of the @BostonGlobe after 2+ years leading one of the best teams in journalism amid more history-making news cycles than I could have possibly imagined/🧵

It has been one of the most thrilling, rewarding, meaningful stints of my career to lead @GlobeOpinion and the Globe editorial board as we covered a pandemic, 2 impeachments, an insurrection, historic presidential and mayoral elections, historic racial justice protests + more./2

I’m lucky to have some of the most creative, kind, brilliant, committed colleagues in the news business and I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished together…/3

…From inventive digital political endorsements to a hard-hitting editorial series that was a Pulitzer finalist, from a groundbreaking partnership w/ Boston University to sharp-witted newsletters, from a reader postcard project to a new event series and much, much more./4

And even more so, perhaps, I’m proud of the way we’ve held political leaders & institutions accountable, pushed forward policy that better serves the public interest, and, on many occasions, achieved practical results that improve the lives of people in our region & beyond./5

I’m beyond grateful to @Linda_Pizzuti & @John_W_Henry for persuading me to take this role, for taking a risk on a policy wonk/science journalist/ the youngest ed page editor in the Globe’s history, and for investing in good journalism + growing @GlobeOpinion during my tenure./6

So it’s with both sadness and excitement that I’ve decided to change up my pace, freeing up bandwidth for longer-term projects befitting the author of The Optimist’s Telescope./7

I’ll stay on at the Globe as an Editor-at-Large, a role in which I’ll get to write, keep advising the amazing @the_emancipator team, and more. I’m also eager to start doing some deeper thinking off deadline and to chart what comes next./8

I’m also gratified to be making way for another dynamic journalist + intellectual leader to take the helm @GlobeOpinion in a gubernatorial election year, with more excitement to come. If you are interested in the role, which will be posted in January, please be in touch!/9
