The Washington Post has added a new deputy editor position, promoting Matt Zapotosky to the job, effective immediately.

Zapotosky has been appointed as deputy metro editor. He joins Maria Glod as a senior leader on the desk. 

This news follows the appointment of Jamie Stockwell as executive editor in January. 

In the new arrangement, Zapotosky will cover criminal justice and breaking news. Glod will focus on local politics and education.

Zapotosky first joined the Post as a summer intern in the Southern Maryland bureau in 2007. Returning a year later, he has since covered police, courts, the justice department.  

Two years ago, Zapotosky became an editor on the metro desk.
