The Associated Press has named Paul Byrne as its news director for South America’s Southern Cone region. Byrne is a seasoned video journalist who has led all-format reporting on clergy sex abuse and economic tumult in Argentina, the unrest in Chile and Bolivia and other major stories.
Byrne will be based in Buenos Aires and will oversee coverage in text, photos and video for Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia.
The announcement was made Thursday by Matt Chandler, AP’s news director for Latin America and the Caribbean.
“Paul is a natural leader and one who knows what it takes to win on breaking news stories vital for AP clients across all formats,” Chandler said.
