From Talking Biz News:

Jane Sasseen, a long-time reporter and editor at BusinessWeek, is becoming the business glossy's new Washington bureau chief, Talking Biz News has learned.

Sasseen, who says the position will officially start on July 1, has been commuting from New York and has yet to move to the DC area, but will soon. She replaces Eva Rodriguez, who was in the position for only a year before leaving to become an editorial writer at The Washington Post.
