Jill Dutt Steps Down

Jill Dutt announced today that she is stepping down as the Washington Post’s AME/Financial.

Word is that she’s taking Bill Hamilton’s job as Assistant Managing Editor for Enterprise (a fancy way of saying overseer of A1 Features for the Sunday edition). We also learn that Hamilton will become the permanent national politics editor (not just temporarily, as announced last week…).

Who will replace Jill on Financial? Her #2, Sandy Sugawara, would have to be on the short list. And it’s widely known that Rajiv Chandrasekaran wants off the continuous news desk.
