Tucker joined The Times in 2007 as associate features editor and a year later became editor of Times2. In 2012 she became The Times' editorial director.^[9] In October 2013 she was appointed deputy editor, under editor John Witherow, succeeding Keith Blackmore who had stood down that August.^[9]^[10]

At the end of January 2020,^[11] Tucker became the first female editor of The Sunday Times since Rachel Beer in 1901.^[2]^[12] During Tucker's tenure as editor, the newspaper reported on controversies regarding COVID-19 contracts.^[6]

In December 2022, she was named the new editor of The Wall Street Journal, "the first woman to lead the 133-year-old business publication," replacing Matt Murray on February 1, 2023.^[1]^[13]

Personal life

Tucker has three sons, including one born in February 2001.^[6]^[14] They lived in Lewes, East Sussex. Tucker divorced her first husband and moved to London. In 2008, she then married her second husband, Peter Andreas Howarth, who already had three sons.^[4]^[6]
