Changes to NYT’s national political coverage

Perhaps you heard that Adam Nagourney, the national political correspondent for The New York Times , is leaving his role to become L.A. bureau chief for The Times . His position will be filled by three people, according to a memo by Times Executive Editor Bill Keller. Reporter Jeff Zeleny will handle day-to-day reporting; Matt Bai will move from The Times Magazine to the daily paper as a political columnist; and Jim Rutenberg will handle investigative stories.
