The Guardian’s media correspondent, Owen Gibson, has been made sports news correspondent across The Guardian, The Observer and Guardian.co.uk in the run-up to the London Olympics.
A Guardian News and Media spokeswoman said an exact date for the move – and news on his replacement – had yet to be announced.
Gibson will also be stepping down from the chairman role at the Broadcasting Press Guild, a job that will be taken up by Telegraph TV and radio editor Neil Midgley.
