Ed Kelley, editor of The Oklahoman since 2003, takes the editor slot at Washington Times Media on July 1.
In a 35-year career at the paper, he is remembered for leading coverage of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City in '95 and the high-profile trial of bomber Timothy McVeigh.
Thomas McDevitt, president of the Times, hailed Kelley’s "traditional sense of news credibility and valuable insight into new media."
Kelley says he looks forward to continue the Times' "long history of trusted news and conservative opinion."
He began his career at The Oklahoman as summer intern in '74. Kelley became a full-time reporter in '75 and served as city and business editor before taking the spot.
The Times editor slot has been vacant since November.
