GAIL COLLINS, Editor

Gail Collins, the editorial page editor, is responsible for the two opinion pages The Times publishes every day. Her department includes the editorial board, as well as the Op-Ed and Letters departments. The editorial department of the paper is completely separate from the news operations and Ms. Collins answers directly to the publisher, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. She is assisted by Andrew Rosenthal, deputy editor, David Shipley, the editor of the Op-Ed page, and Thomas Feyer, the Letters editor.

Under her direction, the 16 members of the board prepare the paper's editorials. The board holds regular meetings to discuss current issues. The editorials are written by individual board members in consultation with their colleagues, and are edited by Ms. Collins and Mr. Rosenthal.

Ms. Collins came to The Times in 1995 as a member of the editorial board, and later became an Op-Ed columnist. Mr. Sulzberger named her editorial page editor in the summer of 2001. She is the author of three books: "America's Women, 400 Years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates and Heroines" (Morrow, 2003), "Scorpion Tongues" (Morrow, 1998) and "The Millennium Book" (Doubleday, 1991) which she co-authored with her husband, Dan Collins. She is currently working on a book about American women since 1960. Before joining The Times, she was a columnist for New York Newsday and the New York Daily News. She has also worked for United Press International and papers in Milwaukee and Connecticut and has written for magazines ranging from Institutional Investor to Ladies Home Journal. In the 1970's, she founded and ran the Connecticut State News Bureau, which covered the state capitol for weekly and small daily papers around the state. At the time of its sale, the Connecticut State News Bureau was the largest news service of its kind in the country.

For the edification of those who may not know who writes the unsigned, "masthead" editorials of this paper, as it has changed since Meet The New York Times Editorial Board was posted. It's not Mo Dowd, Krugman, etc.

Some of the players have changed, but I can't tell much difference in their meathead editorials. Mark Levin was talking about some of them on his radio show tonight.

These people have done more harm to the country than all 19+1 9/11 hijackers. The rot within.

Hard to believe these sock puppets keep coming to work everyday, hacking out their little pieces, knowing their opinion just doesn't matter to anyone.

If you think aborting a baby = letting her be born, homosexual activity = marriage, govt. schools = (are as good as) private or home schools, etc., then the NY Times is your kind of paper!

Nobody especially on the Editorial Board will make it to this crucial department without the approval of the left one of these lefties at the NYT: Sulzberger.
To think change might blossom:
Not as long as he's breathing refined air at the top.

I didn't catch that part of Mark's show tonight (just the Ratner rant--a beauty) but no matter whom they name, it's one mind. There are more socialists in the NY Times offices than in Russia these days.

If these people step out of idealogical lock-step on any issue, they will never eat dinner with their friends on West End Ave again...
