“I didn’t kill anybody,” Kahn said, sup pressing a sly smile. It was late on a Friday afternoon, April 15—just days before it would be announced that he had ascended to journalism’s Iron Throne—and we were sit ting in a conference room high above the empty newsroom. “The truth is that we’re in a bit of a different era, and some of the transitions in the past admittedly have been rocky, and there have been more abrupt changes in leadership. I think we’re going to have a really smooth change in leadership.”
Rocky? There have been four executive editors of the Times in the past two decades, and two of them—Howell Raines (2001 to 2003) and Jill Abramson (2011 to 2014)— imploded spectacularly in public after losing the faith of the Sulzberger family. Was Kahn nervous? “I am,” he told me, “for a variety of reasons. Not really because I think that I’m going to selfdestruct but because it’s an enormous responsibility to manage a newsroom of this size and ambition at this particular moment.”
