Sulzberger, the 41-year-old scion of The Times' controlling family who is its corporate chairman and publisher. He has served as managing editor, or second-in-command, since 2016 under Dean Baquet, who prepared him as a successor. Kahn joined the paper a generation ago, in 1998, and rose through the ranks as a reporter and international editor. His appointment was logical, long planned and drained of any of the drama that accompanied some earlier transitions.

Now the paper's managing editor, he first joined The Times in 1998. Joe Kahn will become The New York Times' executive editor on June 14.
