The search is over. The Washington Times has appointed award-winning journalist Sam Dealey as its new editor to lead the paper's newsroom and manage content for its other multimedia outlets.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to help shape the future of a great newspaper that is transitioning to meet the challenges of the 21st century media market," said Dealey, who has covered national, political and foreign affairs.
He has served as editor of the Asian Wall Street Journal's Culture & Thought page, assistant managing editor of The American Spectator, and contributing editor to U.S. News & World Report and Reader's Digest. He has been an Africa correspondent for TIME Magazine, and a frequent contributor to such publications as GQ, Details and The New York Times. Dealey has also reported from Africa for CNN and PBS' "News Hour with Jim Lehrer." He is a Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and in 2006 was awarded the Henry R. Luce Award for deadline reporting by TIME.
"Since his early days at The American Spectator and on through a vast array of publications worldwide -- the Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, U.S. News & World Report and others -- Sam has impressed me with his fierce independence, objectivity, good judgment and intuitive sense for a story," said R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., editor in chief of The American Spectator.
Dealey has been a reporter for The Hill newspaper, an editorial board member at The Washington Times, and from 1999 to 2001, Dealey was a writer for The Wall Street Journal editorial page in Hong Kong covering trade and global finance, human and religious rights, China, the Koreas, and Southeast Asia.
"We are proud to welcome Sam to The Washington Times after an intensive nationwide search," said President and Publisher Jonathan Slevin. "Sam is a talented and accomplished journalist and the right person to lead our newsroom as The Times continues to serve as an independent watchdog for the American people. We are honored to respond to the local, national and global demand for reliable and trustworthy information with a Washington, D.C.-based news company that can adapt with speed and flexibility to meet the audience and business needs of the 21st century."
