Marshall Ingwerson, managing editor of The Christian Science Monitor, was named the newspaper’s editor on Monday [December 16, 2013], succeeding John Yemma, who led the paper in a much-watched move away from daily print and into Web-first journalism.
The change, scheduled to take effect in late January, was announced at a newsroom meeting Monday by Lyle Young, chairman of the Christian Science Board of Directors. The Board acts as publisher of the Monitor.
Mr. Yemma asked to step down to concentrate on writing for the Monitor and to pursue other creative activities. He has been editor since 2008.
