From the Washington Examiner:

The Washington Examiner announced today that Timothy P. Carney, who has been writing a weekly op-ed column for the paper, was joining the staff full time to oversee a new K Street page.

Carney will write a lobbying column for the weekly page, which will make its debut in two weeks. He also will continue his Friday op-ed column.

"Most reporters write about how much money lobbyists make and what great access they have," said Stephen G. Smith, editor of The Washington Examiner. "Tim writes about how they affect, and sometimes distort, the legislative process."

Carney comes to The Examiner from Eagle Publishing, where he succeeded Robert Novak as editor of the Evans-Novak Political Report and served as a book editor at Regnery Publishing. He is also the author of the 2006 book "Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money."

The Evans-Novak Political Report launched in 1967 by Rowland Evans and Bob Novak, is now folding. After Novak's illness forced his retirement, the reins were handed over to Carney. With the personnel changes and the market changes, Eagle has decided to retire the publication.
