Understanding The Times
Making the Front Page: How All the News Fits in Print

Suzanne Daley became an associate managing editor for International Print in August 2016. Previously, she spent six years as a European correspondent responsible for special features.
Ms. Daley had been the national editor of The Times from 2005 to 2010, taking over just weeks after Hurricane Katrina flattened New Orleans. During her tenure, the national desk covered events ranging from the massacre at Virginia Tech to the collapse of the Minneapolis bridge, and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for a series, “The DNA Age,” that chronicled how the study of genetics was changing life for average Americans.
Before taking over the National Desk, Ms. Daley was named education editor in 2002. In 2004, she was also given responsibility for the coverage of social trends like those in child-rearing, religion and technology’s impacts.
She was part of the team that planned the new Thursday Styles section of the newspaper the following year. Before that, she was chief of the Paris bureau from August 1999 to July 2002, and served as bureau chief in Johannesburg starting in June 1995, shortly after Nelson Mandela was elected president.
She served as deputy metropolitan editor from September 1993 to June 1995, and was the first assistant metropolitan editor from November 1991 to September 1993. During that time, time the desk was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. She was a metropolitan reporter from 1982 to 1991, covering topics ranging from foster care to City Hall to transportation.
Ms. Daley joined The Times in June 1978 as a copy person.
Ms. Daley received a B.A. degree from Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass.
