Gemma Fox has been named Time editorial director, news.

Fox will “oversee the News team, working closely with reporters and editors to shape and elevate our daily report,” writes Sam Jacobs, editor in chief of Time. “She’ll ensure that Time’s breaking news coverage is fast, comprehensive, and aligned with our editorial mission.”

Fox had run the U.S. and international desks at the Times of London. Prior to that, she held roles at The Independent and Sky News. She relocated to New York last year to oversee election coverage.

Annabel Gutterman will join Fox on the news desk team, while  continuing as senior editor, content strategy.

“Annabel is a key collaborator for many at Time,” Jacobs continues. “Reporting into Gemma, she’ll continue to lead strategy for our content, newsletters, SEO, and planning ahead, partnering across the newsroom. She’ll also run digital strategy, with Nadia Suleman and Juwayriah Wright reporting to her.”
