About Gerald M. Boyd

Gerald Michael Boyd (October 3, 1950 – November 23, 2006) was an American journalist and editor. He was the first African-American metropolitan editor and managing editor at The New York Times, after joining the newspaper in 1983 in its Washington, D.C. bureau. A controversy in 2003 about the reporting of Jayson Blair forced both Boyd and the Executive Editor, Howell Raines, to resign that year.
