NYT's David Leonhardt: 'On a Big Story You Want Carl By Your Side'

To the Newsroom:

Carl Hulse has long been part of the nerve center of The New York Times. As our chief Congressional correspondent, he’s been a leading player on most big Washington stories, and he has written some of the most insightful pieces of the Obama/Tea Party years. Carl is also a wise and generous colleague who is an enormous help to other reporters, editors and (believe me) columnists.

I am thrilled to announce that he will now become deputy Washington bureau chief, joining Rebecca Corbett in that role.
