Brian McGrory, a 23-year veteran of The Boston Globe who has led groundbreaking coverage of corruption as an editor and whose columns have made him an essential voice in the region, will become the news organization’s next editor.
McGrory, 51, will take over the job immediately, replacing Martin Baron, who left last week to become editor of the Washington Post. McGrory will report to Globe publisher Christopher M. Mayer.

Congrats, Brian. But I'll miss your column. Your Liberty Mutual stuff was outstanding.
Congrats, Brian. You will be great! But I will sorely miss your refreshing, insightful columns.
Great for Brian, great for globe and better for journalism. Money guys can sell, but it helps to have great content. Brian, focus on content, let the circulation, ad, marketing and money guys do their thing.
As a Boston native who used to deliver the Globe myself, I am delighted to see a former paperboy rise. Way to go. (Now, Brian: bring back real paperboys -- and girls.)
Best wishes.
