“#New York Times taps Stella Bugbee to lead its Styles section<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The New York Times on Wednesday named Stella Bugbee to edit its Styles section \u2014 a day after the embarrassing announcement that New York magazine had hired the paper\u2019s previous Styles editor, Choire Sicha.<\/p>\n

Bugbee\u2019s hire at the Times means that she is effectively switching places with Sicha, who is taking her previous job as editor at large at New York magazine. That\u2019s despite the Times strenuously insisting for weeks that Sicha was staying at the paper, and merely leaving the helm of the Styles section in favor of an undefined news<\/a>letter project.<\/p>\n

\u201cStella brings to The Times a broad and ambitious vision for Styles coverage, one that embraces fashion and lifestyle even as it explores issues of politics, gender, power and fame,\u201d said the memo from executive editor Dean Baquet, managing editor Joe Kahn and assistant managing editor Sam Sifton.<\/p>\n

The memo likewise noted that Bugbee was a \u201cgifted manager.\u201d That\u2019s an area where Sicha was seen as deficient by critics including Times deputy managing editor Carolyn Ryan, who reportedly clashed with Sicha over his hands-off, freewheeling style.<\/p>\n

Bugbee, slated to start her new job on June 21, is a former editor of The Cut, the fashion vertical of New York Magazine, and was seen as the odds-on favorite to get the job by many insiders. Her selection for the top job came nearly two months after Sicha\u2019s surprise announcement on April 19 that he was stepping down to become a consultant on a nascent newsletter division.<\/p>\n

At least one said the newsletter gig was a \u201ccharade\u201d put out until Sicha found a new gig.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they were talking to her before he got fired from the Styles job,\u201d said one insider.<\/p>\n

Another said talks may not have officially started until after the Sicha bombshell on April 19 \u2014 but she was a known quantity inside the Times, which had tried to lure her away from New York Magazine four years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was always on their radar,\u201d said the insider.<\/p>\n

In 2017, sources said the Times had reached out to her before they hired Sicha but she surprised them by turning down the job and staying at The Cut. That\u2019s when, the source said, the Times went to a \u201cbakeoff\u201d involving Sicha, media<\/a> editor Jim Windolf and Lori Leibovich, who was at the time managing a health vertical for Meredith. The latter has since joined the Times as editor at its Well vertical.<\/p>\n

Bugbee meanwhile, after getting a promotion to run The Cut, stepped away in October and became an editor at large at New York \u2014 the exact same job that Sicha landed on Tuesday. \u201cIt is almost like two sports teams trading stars,\u201d an insider noted.<\/p>\n

Alexandra Jacobs, who had been at Styles for a decade and is one of three deputy editors in the section, was known to have put her hand up for the job as well and was seen as the leading inside candidate. It\u2019s unclear if she will stay at the section or seek a new gig either inside or outside after getting passed over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey treated her nicely when she app<\/a>lied for the job, but it was pretty clear there was no urgency in her consideration,\u201d according to a spy.<\/p>\n

Sicha, on his way out the door in April, also posted on Twitter that everyone should apply for the job. That was seen by some as a ticked-off Sicha, who formerly worked for the now-defunct gossip site Gawker, creating a bit of mischief for his bosses. \u201cI am sure they were inundated with resumes.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
