So, to mark my last issue, I put together a list of firsts. Because even a retrospective twitter thread put together by someone with an extremely inconsistent and unsatisfying social media presence, to pick one random example, needs some framing.
Before I go edit 2020 coverage, here are 20 bylines I got to put in the Times for the very first time (at least according to my memory and a Nexis search) and an early/favorite stories from them that I wanted to put here in scrapbook form.
