Beat changes continue at the New York Times.
With chief political writer Adam Nagourney slated to become the paper's L.A. bureau chief, White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny will be elevated to lead political writer for the paper, Politico reports. Matt Bai, who writes for the New York Times Magazine, will become a regular columnist/analyst for the paper, and Jim Rutenberg will do political investigations.
This is a boon for the Times. For my money, Bai is second only to Ron Brownstein when it comes to smart political analysis.

Nagourney looks westward
Adam Nagourney, chief political correspondent for the New York Times, has indicated he's going to step out of the position and move to Los Angeles, possibly to become the Times' LA bureau chief. Jennifer Steinhauer, who currently holds that position, is expected to head back to Washington to cover Congress, Politico reports.
The Politico article mentions White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny and political correspondent Jim Rutenberg as possibly Nagourney replacements. I'd throw White House reporters Peter Baker into the mix as well. Of course, much depends on how the Times decides to structure the beat.
Another possibility is Matt Bai, who writes chiefly for the paper's Sunday magazine. Bai is one of the smartest political analysts out there.
One lingering question is whether this transfer means the New York Times plans to challenge the Los Angeles Times more directly on its turf?

Four in the evening
1. Also still adjusting to the Internet: politics. Matt Bai
2. Overhead in the Newsroom of the day: Reporter: “Just cause somebody got gunned down doesn’t mean his story is all that compelling.” OITN
3. More LANG moves, this time in the San Gabriel Valley. From LA Observed: Steve Lambert is the new Editor and Publisher of the San Gabriel Valley newspaper Group and Steve Hunt is promoted from managing editor to senior editor. LAO
4. News is going mobile. Recovering Journalist

Romney no Reagan
My old friend Matt Bai at the New York Times (I've talked to him once to get him on our show) has a nice piece today about how lame Mitt Romney's campaign was - and how much lamer still his concession speech was.
The Bai piece has far fewer dangling participles and you can read it here.
