Title: Newsman goes from war reporting to sex beat
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
[Memo to San Francisco Chronicle staffers]

I am delighted to announce that John Koopman, who has been a metro reporter or editor in San Francisco since 1997, is joining the Datebook staff as a special assignment writer. His beat is sex. He'll be covering everything from the sex-workers industry to nights out with the vice squad to Amateur Nights at the Power Exchange. His stories will appear in different sections of the paper. In the Features sections, they will appear with the logo SKIN - they'll be hard to miss.

Also pleased to say we have boosted the gravitas of the Travel section. John Flinn becomes Executive Travel Editor, Jeanne Cooper joins him as Travel Editor, along with a new Deputy Travel Editor, Spud Hilton.

Meanwhile, the Pink section now benefits from the work of Walter Addiego, who specializes in film.

Carolyn White, Deputy Managing Editor/Features
