Teri Thompson named Managing Editor for Sports at New York Daily News

"The (New York) Daily News’ award-winning sports section has got a new skipper," the Daily News writes, adding, "Teri Thompson, who headed the paper’s sports investigative team, was promoted [Friday] to managing editor for sports. One of the nation’s first female sportswriters, Thompson is taking over for Leon Carter, who is departing for a job at a new ESPN Web site. Thompson spent 12 years as a sportswriter and columnist at the Rocky Mountain News in Denver before joining The News in 1997. She left the paper for ESPN’s SportsCenter in 1999, but soon returned to The News to lead the award-winning investigative unit."
