Dana Canedy, the administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes and a winner of the prestigious award during her long tenure at The New York Times, has been named publisher of the Simon & Schuster imprint.
As a successor to Jonathan Karp, who took over as Simon & Schuster president and CEO following the heart attack death in May of Carolyn Reidy, Canedy becomes the first Black publisher in the company’s history.
“I am confident that as our new publisher, Dana can deepen our strengths while expanding our field of vision,” Karp said in a statement, “combining broad editorial expertise with hands-on management skill and the proven ability to effect strategic change.”
Following a 20-year career at the Times, Canedy has been the administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes since 2017. While at the Times, she was a lead writer and editor on the 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning series “How Race Is Lived in America.”
