Jennifer Loven, the AP’s White House correspondent and an AP reporter for 18 years, is officially off the beat. She has resigned and is preparing to leave her job tomorrow.
Loven (as shown here to the right of the President) will soon set up shop at the Glover Park Group – the news was first reported by Politico‘s Mike Allen this morning.
Steve Komarow, AP’s Acting D.C. Bureau Chief, sent a first memo out to staff saying Loven “will be taking on a new assignment at her request.” This suggested Loven might stay within AP.
Today, in another memo, he spells out that assignment, but doesn’t name Glover Park Group…
> Update: The Glover Park Group put out its own statement on Loven. Read it after the jump…
> Update #2: Loven made a presentation at last year’s WHCA dinner. NBC News’s Brian Williams introduced her affectionately as “McLoven” and she led the dinner in toasting President Obama. Watch the clip from the C-SPAN Video Library after the jump…
