Jennifer Sizemore has been named managing editor of MSNBC.com and executive producer of NBC News. Sizemore will oversee MSNBC.com's newsroom, drive editorial strategy and work closely with the entire NBC News organization. It's the first time the person leading MSNBC.com's newsroom has also held an NBC News title.

"This announcement, and new structure for this position, speaks directly to our commitment at NBC News to incorporate MSNBC.com into every aspect of our news gathering and reporting efforts," said Steve Capus, the newly named president of NBC News.

Sizemore, 37, joined MSNBC.com in July 2005 as deputy editor for news.
