We are excited to announce that Billie Sweeney will be taking on a new, expanded role as day assignment editor, wrapping up a strong four-year run as our night editor. Billie will help manage the overall day report, making sure we are on the news while coordinating among our newsrooms in Seoul, London and New York.

In her new position, Billie will work closely with Suzanne Spector, a deputy international editor, who will take on the new role of helping to drive our live coverage to engage and inform our global audience.
