Report managing editor David Horowitz will take over from Goodman, when the deal goes into force on Friday, May 1.

Goodman described the changes as "an exciting opportunity to create outstanding products in the field of Jewish and Middle East journalism."

A former Post staffer, Goodman will report to Spector and take on responsibility for improving the quality of the Post's publications. At the same time, he will continue writing his back-page column in the Report and will become a member of its board of directors.

Stressing the varied nature of the products now available under the Post-Report alliance, Spector said the publications will remain distinctive and editorially independent.
