Former New York Times food critic and culture editor Sam Sifton is leaving his current post as national editor, his boss Jill Abramson announced in a memo today, “to create an immersive digital magazine experience, a lean back read that will include new, multimedia narratives in the tradition of Snow Fall,” last year’s much-discussed (but not universally loved) elaborate storytelling experiment.
