Amisha "Amy" Padnani (born 1984[1]) is an American journalist who is the obituaries editor for The New York Times.[2] She is the creator of the Times’ award-winning series titled Overlooked, a compilation of obituaries that tell the stories of individuals whose deaths were not originally reported on by the Times, typically remarkable women and people of color.[3][4]
Career
Padnani wrote for metropolitan newspapers like The Star-Ledger and The Staten Island Advance before moving to The New York Times in 2011.[5] She has been the senior staff editor on Obituaries at The New York Times since March of 2011.[citation needed] As the Obituaries editor of the Times, she researches, assigns and edits obituaries to in-house writers.[citation needed]
Overlooked
In 2018, together with the newspaper's gender editor, Jessica Bennett, Padnani initiated an obituary feature series, Overlooked, to publish obituaries on notable figures previously overlooked by the Times, such as Alan Turing and Sylvia Plath. The series opened with a straightforward statement of intent:[3] "Since 1851, obituaries in the New York Times have been dominated by white men. Now we're adding the stories of remarkable women."[6]
The newspaper also invited readers to nominate overlooked individuals meriting commemoration.[7] Padnani has described her personal motivation for the series: "as a woman of color, I am pained when the powerful stories of incredible women and minorities are not brought to light".[3] Padnani's work has earned her the nickname the “Angel of Death."[citation needed] The Overlooked series is in the process of being adapted into a Netflix show and several books.[8]
Awards and honors
Padnani, along with Veronica Chambers and Anika Burgess of The New York Times, won the Newspapers feature award at the Newswomen's Club of New York’s 2020 Front Page Awards for their work on the Mrs. Files series, a collection of essays and poems surrounding the title of “Mrs.” and its role in the identity of women.[9]
Padnani gave a TED talk in June 2019 discussing Overlooked, as part of the TED Salon: Trailblazers.[10][11]
