New York Times Names Head of Video After Revamp

New York Times: The New York Times said that Alex MacCallum, an assistant managing editor currently overseeing audience development, would take control of its video department. MacCallum, 35, will assume the position when she returns from maternity leave in January, the company said. Her new title will be assistant editor, and senior vice president, video. She will continue to supervise the audience development group. The appointment signals the end of an uncertain period for the video department, which has been without a full-time leader since the paper announced a broad revamping of the unit in July.
