Boardman, 46, joined the
Times in 1983 and has worked as a reporter, copy editor, local news editor, assistant city editor, city editor, and metro editor. "This opportunity is a dream come true for me," Boardman said.
Boardman directed two Pulitzer Prize-winning projects for the
Times and edited three other stories that became Pulitzer finalists.

Times, he worked at the
