Jonathon Sturgeon has been appointed deputy editor of Artnet News. Sturgeon brings nearly a decade of experience editing arts and culture coverage, having written for publications including Flavorwire, American Reader, n+1 Magazine, e-flux, the Guardian, the Paris Review, Frieze, and the Baffler. He will work closely with editor-in-chief Rozalia Jovanovic to guide the editorial process, handling both news stories and long-form features.
This appointment matters because it signals Artnet News's commitment to deepening its editorial quality and range at a time when digital art journalism faces intense competition. Sturgeon's background across literary and visual arts publications suggests the outlet aims to broaden its storytelling forms while maintaining smart, timely, and global coverage of the art world.
