Biography
Kathleen Kingsbury grew up in Portland, Oregon, and did her undergraduate work at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. She was awarded a graduate degree from the Columbia Journalism School, where she had been the recipient of a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship.
Kingsbury worked for Time magazine as New York-based staff writer and as a Hong Kong-based correspondent.
In 2013, Kingsbury joined the editorial board of The Boston Globe, later becoming deputy managing editor and deputy editorial page editor. Kingsbury joined The New York Times in August 2017 as a deputy editorial page editor. On June 7, 2020, she was named "as acting Editorial Page Editor through the November election" at The New York Times, replacing James Bennet. In January 2021, she was named Opinion Editor by Publisher A.G. Sulzberger. She has also contributed to Time, Reuters, The Daily Beast, BusinessWeek, and Fortune.
Kingsbury's "Service Not Included" series about labor conditions in Boston restaurants earned her the Walker Stone Award for Editorial Writing from the Scripps Howard Foundation in 2014, as well as the Burl Osborne Award for Editorial Leadership from the American Society of News Editors in 2015.
In 2015, Kingsbury won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for a series of articles exposing the unfair working conditions facing restaurant workers, including the negative financial effects of the American tipping system, the prevalence of wage theft, and the real human cost of cheap menu items. In 2018, she was a finalist in the same category for her work on an editorial series about domestic violence and gun ownership.
In February 2021, Kingsbury refused to run a column by Bret Stephens in which he criticized the Times's dismissal of Donald G. McNeil Jr. Stephens' comments were later published by the New York Post.
Controversies
Kingsbury has been the source of controversy both publicly and within the New York Times staff since taking over as opinion editor. Kingsbury wrote one of the New York Times opinion articles that dismissed transgender youth and called their gender identity a phase. There have also been other articles published in the opinion section, that she edits, that are alleged to be dismissive of the issues of trans youth.
