Boston Globe Names New Editor

Former metro editor Brian McGrory to take top spot

The Boston Globe has found a replacement for editor Marty Baron, who left last month to become executive editor of The Washington Post. This afternoon, the New York Times Co.-owned Globe announced that editor Brian McGrory, a 23-year veteran of the newspaper and Boston native, would be given the top editorial position, effective immediately.

McGrory, 51, joined the Globe in 1989 as a reporter for the newspaper’s South Weekly section. He later held positions including White House correspondent, metro columnist, associate editor, and deputy managing editor for local news.
