NEW YORK (AP) - Pulitzer Prize-winning newsman Clark Hoyt has been named public editor of The New York Times, the newspaper announced Thursday.
Hoyt, 64, is a veteran journalist who spent much of his career at Knight Ridder newspapers, including his Pulitzer-winning coverage of Democratic vice presidential candidate Thomas F. Eagleton during the 1972 election. He was Washington editor for the chain until its sale last year, and since June had been working as a newsroom consultant to its new owners, The McClatchy Co.
Hoyt will be in the post for a fixed two-year term, and takes over the role of writing about the Times for the newspaper from Byron Calame, whose two-year stint is ending.
