NY Daily News names new real estate editor

The New York Daily News has hired Katherine Clarke, a senior reporter at The Real Deal, as its new real estate editor.

Ryan Hutchins of Capital New York writes, “Clarke, 26, will cover the real-estate beat and put together the Friday ‘Best Places to Live’ section. She starts April 28.

“The Northern Ireland native and Columbia University journalism-school graduate called up the words of an editor.

“‘He said when I started here that I would find that covering real estate in New York was a great way to view money, power and politics in the city, and I found that to be a very true statement,’ Clarke said.

“Chaban left the News this year for The New York Times, where he’s writing The Appraisal, the paper’s weekly column on the city real-estate scene.”
