andrea purseAndrea Purse, VP of communications for the Center for American Progress, has moved to the White House as director of broadcast media.

Dag Vega, who held the White House post, is headed for Burson-Marsteller early next month.

Purse, who handled broadcast media and the left-leaning, Washington-based CAP before taking the VP slot, earlier led TV and radio outreach for John Edwards' presidential campaign and is a former press secretary to Rep. George Miller (D. Calif.).

She is also a former media aide to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.

To fill Purse's role at CAP, Daniella Gibbs Leger, an Obama administration alum, was promoted to senior VP, comms. and strategy, and Katie Peters was named managing director of comms.
