RD Recap: Politico Names New Editor; Mediaite Is Adding a Sports Vertical

The latest media hirings and firings.

Politico announces that Carrie Budoff Brown will take over as editor following the November presidential election. She had been managing editor of the publication’s European newsroom, a job she took after serving as White House correspondent between 2009 and 2014. “There have been moments in Politico’s history when we really benefited from an outside perspective,” publisher and editor in chief John Harris said of the decision. “In this instance, I’ve thought we’ve never had more talent residing in our newsroom right now, and I thought it was a wonderful thing to be able to find someone within our newsroom.”
