John Mancini will oversee overnight operations at the AP’s Nerve Center in New York. As assistant managing editor, he’ll coordinate late-breaking coverage from North and South America, daytime content for Asia and early coverage for the Middle East and Europe, in addition to focusing on U.S. East Coast drive-time coverage. Mancini left Newsday in December of 2009 after five years as editor and 20 years with the company. Last June, he joined New York 1 as transit reporter and then jumped to Bonnie Fuller’s HollywoodLife.com in January.
