PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com have a new editor.

Philadelphia Media Network on Monday placed Gabriel Escobar in charge of the entire news report of the sister newspapers and their digital news site.

Inquirer editor William Marimow, who twice won Pulitzer Prizes as an Inquirer reporter, takes on a new role as editor-at-large. His job will include coaching the investigations team. Daily News editor Michael Days becomes editor for reader engagement.
