From an internal Washington Post email, obtained by FishbowlDC:

With Tony Faiola's decision to go global and take on Financial's globalization beat, National is seeking to fill one of our premier jobs: New York bureau chief. We're looking for an intrepid reporter and writer to range widely through New York (a world unto itself) and the Northeast with an eye toward front-page enterprise pieces; a keen curiosity about urban America is a must and an interest in politics would be an added plus with two New Yorkers already in the 2008 presidential race and third looming on the mayoral sidelines. A strong internal candidate has emerged; if you are interested in this or future National bureau jobs, please contact [REDACTED].
