_TIME Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs and Executive Editor Alex Altman sent the following memo to staff on Monday:_ 

Dear all,

TIME aspires to lead in the coverage of the remaking of the world by artificial intelligence.

Last week, we released[ our annual TIME100 AI list](https://time.com/collection/time100-ai/2026/), led by **Ayesha Javed**, and an[ exclusive cover story](https://time.com/article/2026/08/26/openai-sam-altman-interview/) about OpenAI drawing on unprecedented access inside the company. Today, we're announcing a significant investment in our AI and technology coverage. 

In just a few weeks, we’ll relaunch _In the Loop_, our AI newsletter, with a new format. Later this year, we plan to expand it to five days a week, giving readers a daily, essential briefing on the industry and the influences shaping it. Next year, we'll build on the success of this year’s AI events in Davos, Cannes, New York and San Francisco by launching our first-ever TIME100 AI Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. We are exploring additional opportunities to convene the world's most influential AI leaders internationally too.

  
To support our continued commitment to this work, we’re pleased to announce the following staff changes.

  
**Naomi Nix** joined us Aug. 17 as a Senior Correspondent based in Washington. Naomi comes to TIME after four years covering Meta and the broader social media industry for The Washington _Post_, where her reporting focused on how powerful platforms shape American democracy and global politics. Before The _Post_, she covered tech lobbying and corporate influence for Bloomberg News, and got her start covering beats including education and City Hall for _The 74,_ _The Star-Ledger_ and the _Chicago Tribune_. At TIME, Naomi will contribute to _In the Loop_, write ambitious features and investigations, and report across platforms with a focus on policy, regulation, tech's political influence, and the nexus between Silicon Valley and the nation's capital.


**Manisha Ganguly** joins us as a Senior Correspondent based in London, starting Nov. 1\. Manisha is a decorated investigative journalist and a pioneer in using open-source intelligence to expose war crimes. She joins us from _The Guardian_, where she was investigations correspondent and led visual forensics; she previously built out open-source investigative workflows at the BBC. She holds the first PhD awarded for research into OSINT's impact on investigative journalism, from the University of Westminster. Manisha is currently writing her first book. At TIME, she will pursue investigations and features on AI and national security, profile key leaders and policymakers, and contribute to _In the Loop_ and our coverage across platforms.

  
**Harry Booth**, who joined TIME in 2024, becomes Staff Writer and will relocate to San Francisco in January to anchor our coverage of the world's most important AI hub. Since joining the London bureau, Harry has been a force behind our TIME100 AI, Philanthropy, and Climate franchises and our Best Inventions coverage. He co-authored our March cover story on Anthropic’s rise and its standoff with the Trump Administration, based on reporting inside the company. Harry will lead our beat coverage of the AI boom on the ground in the Bay Area, covering the frontier labs, hyperscalers, and startups defining this moment. 


The additions of Naomi and Manisha, and Harry's expanded role in San Francisco, will strengthen a team that already includes two agenda-setting correspondents on the AI beat: **Billy Perrigo**, based in London, and **Andrew Chow**, based in Washington. All will work with Senior Editor **Dayana Sarkisova**, who has done a terrific job leading our global beat coverage of AI leaders, companies, and their impact on society. **Charlie Campbell**, reporting to **Gemma Fox**, will continue to contribute greatly to our AI coverage from Asia.

  
In recent years, this global team has brought readers inside companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, and Waymo; broken robotics scoops showing what the next wave of automation looks like; and reported on the global data center boom and the political backlash it has provoked, taking readers from a remote valley above the Arctic Circle in Norway to frontline communities in Tennessee and Texas. Last December, we named "The Architects of AI" our Person of the Year.


Assembling this team reflects TIME's commitment to covering the most consequential story of our time with the ambition it demands—across every platform, through access and accountability, and careful scrutiny of AI’s promise and perils. Please join us in welcoming Naomi and Manisha, and in congratulating Harry on his upcoming move to San Francisco.

Sam and Alex
