Local AP bureau chief is tapped for NY job
David Marcus, the bureau chief for the Associated Press southern New England office, is leaving the bureau at the end of August to become the assistant director of newspaper accounts at the news agency's New York City office.
Marcus broke the news to his staff in Boston on Friday.
"I love Boston. I love the AP members in Boston and southern New England,'' said Marcus, 56. "This is a chance for me to use everything that I have learned from newspapers. We are always looking for ways to serve the members as they want to communicate with their customers better... I'm very excited about that."
Marcus arrived at the news cooperative's office in Boston in 2006 after succeeding Edward S. Bell, who retired from the AP after 16 years.
Marcus had been overseeing the southern New England operation which handles news coverage in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. He was in charge of a staff of 19, from news reporters and editorial assistants to photographers.
Prior to Boston, Marcus had run the agency's Albany bureau for three years. He joined the AP in 2002 as assistant bureau chief in Philadelphia.
His replacement in Boston has not been named.
