Tribune Co. appoints new D.C. bureau chief

Tribune Company has appointed Cissy Baker as its new chief of staff, according to Editor & Publisher.
The move comes amidst staffing turmoil at the bureau, which is awaiting final word on a series of cutbacks and layoffs that have been in the works since at least February.

"This bureau has a great team of experienced print and electronic journalists who understand power and politics and know how to work together to deliver the best, most comprehensive news coverage for our readers and viewers," Baker said in a release. "It is a privilege to lead this talented group, especially as we prepare to cover a new administration."

Baker has worked for CNN and Fox News service over the course of her career.
She will replace former chief Michael Tackett and current acting chief Naftali Bendavid.
