Posted Thursday, May 14, 2026 10:25 am We are thrilled to announce that Laura Bult and Christina Thornell have been promoted to senior video journalists on Reporter Video, Leila Medina to video journalist on Reporter Video, and Meg Felling to video journalist on News Video. Laura joined The Times in 2025 as a video journalist on the Reporter Video team and has produced and edited dozens of videos featuring reporters and photographers that present Times journalism in accessible and creative ways.

We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Aritz Parra from senior producer to supervising producer. Since joining The Times in August 2024, Aritz has driven our video storytelling with an infectious enthusiasm and deep commitment to journalistic excellence. His team in London has more than doubled and he oversees work across every video discipline — from daily news and reporter video to field reporting and visual investigations.

We are thrilled to welcome two new faces as video journalists: Bethlehem Feleke and Mimi Dwyer. Bethlehem is our newest video journalist focused on news and enterprise reporting. She will be based in New York, responding to breaking news and major news events in the United States and around the world. She will report and produce video stories in a range of visual formats, and also collaborate with other journalists across the newsroom.
