The New York Times has named Philip Taubman its Washington, D.C., bureau chief.
Taubman, deputy editor of the newspaper's editorial page, will replace Jill Abramson, who was recently appointed a managing editor, the newspaper announced Wednesday. Taubman's appointment is effective in early September.
Taubman, 55, was named to his current position in 2002. He also has served as assistant editorial page editor, deputy national editor, Washington editor, and Moscow bureau chief.
After stints at
Time and
Esquire magazines, Taubman joined the
Times in 1979 as a reporter in the Washington bureau.
He has received two George Polk awards: in 1981 for national reporting about two former CIA employees who provided aid to Libya and in 1983 for foreign affairs reporting for coverage of American policy in Central America.
