Seattle Times

Lynn Jacobson, managing editor at The Seattle Times, is retiring after more than three decades at the paper. Matt Canham, deputy managing editor who oversees local news coverage, will take over as managing editor.

Jacobson became managing editor in May 2021.

A graduate of the University of Washington and New York University, Jacobson covered theater in New York before returning to Seattle. She joined The Times in 2000 as an assistant arts editor and rose steadily through the ranks.

The Times is now the largest paper north of Los Angeles and west of Minneapolis by circulation, with 108,000 paid digital-only subscribers and daily print circulation of 60,000.

Canham, 45, came to The Times in December 2021 after nearly 20 years at The Salt Lake Tribune. He has signaled plans to expand coverage, particularly in state, local, and national politics.

The Times has also recently hired a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent, Anumita Kaur.
