The New York Times has tapped Karoun Demirjian to serve as a congressional correspondent in the Washington bureau. She begins on Jan. 9.

She was a Washington correspondent at the Las Vegas Sun and reported for The Associated Press, Congressional Quarterly and the Chicago Tribune. She also worked at NPR.
