Bronstein's new role

San Francisco Chronicle Editor Phil Bronstein was recently named editor-at-large for the paper and Hearst Newspapers.
The job shift means that Bronstein will work on "broader strategic responsibilities" at the newspaper and for Hearst, instead of focusing specifically on daily newsroom operations.
Hearst has not yet announced who will take over as editor of the newspaper.
Bronstein was first editor of the Hearst-owned San Francisco Examiner in 1991 after working as a reporter at the paper. When the Chronicle and Examiner newsrooms merged in 2000, the former award-winning investigative reporter and foreign correspondent took over as editor.
In his new role, Bronstein will still represent the paper in the community, help shape the role of the paper and its Web site and oversee investigative projects.
And he will also plans to keep writing.
“I got into this profession because of my great love for words and how they can be used to move people,” Bronstein said. “Hearst is a huge company with amazing creative resources and I’m really looking forward to diving into the possibilities that presents.”
