Erika Masonhall, press secretary for lame duck Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), has left for a PR slot at NBC News.
Masonhall has been tapped to manage communications for "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams," "Meet the Press" and the network’s political reporting unit.
She was previously a communications staffer for the Democratic Leadership Council before joining Lieberman in 2007.
Amid a difficult political climate for the Democrat-turned-Independent, Lieberman said last month that he would not seek a fifth term.
NBC has also promoted Meghan Pianta to publicist under Masonhall and upped "Today" publicist Megan Kopf to director.
All report to Lauren Kapp, senior VP, NBC News marketing and communications.
