"Dear everyone, I'm very happy to share with you excellent news about a beloved colleague. I have asked Krystle Champagne-Norwood to take on greater responsibilities for us, in addition to a new title: managing editor. I'm extremely happy to say that she accepted, with alacrity (preternaturally calm alacrity, which is her preferred mode). In many ways, this promotion simply formalizes what you already know, that The Atlantic 's live journalism operation would cease to function without Krystle's smarts, moxie, creativity, and leadership."
"Krystle's unflappability is well-known. Anyone who has participated in the Atlantic Festival, or another of our many live programs, knows that Krystle is constitutionally incapable of becoming flustered. Her under-pressure competence is a byproduct of hard work and preparation, as well as deep faith, and an ability to improvise, adapt and overcome when, say, we lose electricity in a theater ("This is a perfect opportunity to have a candlelit panel," would be Krystle's response,"
Krystle Champagne-Norwood has been promoted to managing editor and will continue to oversee editorial strategy for live and virtual events and national event partnerships.
