WASHINGTON -- Carole Feldman, a news editor for The Associated Press for two decades, has been appointed assistant bureau chief in Washington.

The appointment was announced July 6 by Chief of Bureau Sandy Johnson.

Feldman joined the AP in Newark, N.J., in 1976 and transferred to Trenton in 1978, covering the Legislature and the state Supreme Court. She returned to Newark as news editor the following year and transferred to Washington in 1981.

She was named news editor in Washington in 1984 after overseeing presidential campaign coverage that year. She returned to reporting in 1993 as a member of AP's special assignment team and later became AP's national education writer. She began her second stint as Washington news editor in 1994.

A New York native, Feldman has a bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University and a master's from Boston University. She also worked for The Free Press in Kinston, N.C., and now-defunct The Dispatch in Union City, N.J.
