New York Times DealBook reporter Sydney Ember is taking over the paper's advertising and marketing beat.
Longtime ad columnist Stuart Elliott took a buyout from the Times in December after penning the column for 23 years.
Ember, who graduated from Brown University in 2012, did a year-long stint as a financial markets analyst for BlackRock before joining the Times in early 2014.
She has reported for the Times' financial news vertical DealBook and penned its "Morning Agenda" feature.
In addition to Ember, the Times has installed Style section wrtier John Koblin on the television desk, previously handled by Bil Carter, who also took a buyout.
Bill Brink was promoted to media editor and Connor Ennis shifts from BizDay weekend editor to deputy under Brink. The paper has not named a successor to the late David Carr and his "Media Equation" column.
Times business editors Dean Murphy and Peter Lattman said media reporting "has long been central to The Times' business and cultural coverage, a signature topic for us that has attracted the best and the brightest."
