Mark Whitaker will replace the late Tim Russert as NBC News’ Washington bureau chief, TVWeek reports. Whitaker, a senior vice president at the division, says he’s going to take time to get his feet wet in the job before making any changes. Decisions about who the permanent moderator on “Meet the Press” will be and how the show’s format might change will be considered together, TVWeek quotes him as saying.
