Around and About   

Billboard, Denver and the New York Times

By Kathryn S. Wenner
Kathryn S. Wenner, a former AJR associate editor, is a copy editor at the Washington Post.     


Nearly a year after the death of longtime Billboard Editor in Chief Timothy White, the music industry weekly names Keith Girard to fill the job. Girard most recently has been editor of InvestmentNews, a business weekly, and before that spent seven years as editor in chief of Baltimore's Daily Record, which covers business and legal news.... John Aloysius Farrell departs the Boston Globe's Washington bureau, where he has been senior correspondent, to go back to the Denver Post as its Washington bureau chief, replacing Bill McAllister.... The New York Times brings home Beijing correspondent Elisabeth L. Rosenthal to be the paper's science editor. She replaces Cornelia Dean, who has accepted a fellowship at the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard.
