Clifford J. Levy

[1][2] He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and was considered one of the main architects of the digital transformation of The New York Times in the 2010s.

The jury cited their "dogged reporting that put a human face on the faltering justice system in Russia, remarkably influencing the discussion inside the country.".

[6] In 2013, two years after becoming an editor, Levy became the editorial lead on NYT Now,[13] an app created by The Times that aimed to attract new readers by presenting a curated list of stories for a cheaper price than a full subscription.

He led a number of initiatives to push the newsroom to embrace digital innovation and focus on digital audiences, including launching an experiment where editors and reporters were barred from viewing the desktop version of The Times inside the newsroom in order to get them to concentrate on mobile readers.

[19][20] In January 2021, Levy returned to the masthead as deputy managing editor, taking on a leadership role advising the audio department a month after the Times admitted to major errors in its flagship "Caliphate" podcast.

[27] Levy's mass e-mails to Times staff about the bargaining process were described as false and misleading by the union and its members.

I feel really bad that these negotiations have turned a man who built his career on trust into a liar.”[30] On December 7, 2022, Times journalists staged a one-day walk-out to protest what they said was the company's unwillingness to offer fair proposals, including on wages.

[31] In late December 2022, it was reported that Levy would be appointed deputy publisher of The Athletic and Wirecutter, but that the move was "dependent on the pace of the labor talks.

"[30] On May 23, 2023, the company and the union announced a deal for a new contract, ending more than two years of contentious negotiations, the Times reported.
