Executive moves at AZ Republic

Nicole Carroll, a nine year veteran at The Arizona Republic, was promoted to executive editor of the newspaper and of azcentral.com.
Carroll fills a spot left vacant by Randy Lovely who was appointed to editor and vice president of news after Ward Bushee left for a job at the San Francisco Chronicle.
Carroll was previously managing editor for features and innovation, features editor and assistant city editor. A Phoenix native, she has also worked at USA Today and the East Valley Tribune.
"Nicole has done an incredible job during her almost nine years with The Republic. She is enterprising, energetic and creative," Lovely said in an Arizona Republic report. "She brings a strong foundation in news along with an innovative mindset for reaching audiences in a complicated media landscape."
With Carroll's move, the paper also announced two other personnel changes.
John Leach, The Republic's current managing editor, will become managing editor for daily print and online operations. And Jeff Dozbaba, senior director for local content, was promoted to managing editor for daily print and online content.
