Marimow Takes Top News Spot at NPR

Bill Marimow will become the Vice President for News at NPR, the network’s equivalent of editor-in-chief. He’s been acting in that capacity since Bruce Drake, the VP for News since 2000, stepped down last year. Marimow is a two-time Pulitzer winner and was the long-time managing editor/editor of the Baltimore Sun.

“When Bruce Drake chose to step down in September, we launched a national search with a challenging assignment: find the best person for one of journalism’s most important management positions who also has the commitment to translate that journalism into the new world of digital media.
