The Hill has named Bob Cusack editor-in-chief, the newspaper announced on Monday.

Cusack replaces Hugo Gurdon, who was named editorial director of The Washington Examiner on Monday, a new position aimed to "strengthen news coverage rapidly, particularly federal policymaking," the Examiner said in an announcement. 

Cusack has been managing editor at The Hill since 2004. He also served as The Hill's business and lobbying editor.

“For more than a decade, Bob has played a leading role in keeping The Hill at the forefront of Washington coverage and he has been a key player in our expansion,” James Finkelstein, Chairman of Capitol Hill Publishing said in a statement. “Bob’s talent as an editor and encyclopedic knowledge of politics will drive our continued growth, making this the most dynamic and essential news brand for policymakers and those who follow and influence politics.”

Gurdon said in a statement he's excited to expand the Examiner's reach.

“I relish this opportunity to build on the excellent work being done at the Washington Examiner, and to give it added depth, authority and reach. [It] attracts millions of readers across America, and internationally, and we have exciting plans to add to this readership and to the gravitas and insight that we bring to them. I greatly look forward to getting down to work.”
