 "The Guardian appoints Kath Viner as editor")
The Guardian appointed its first female editor on Friday, giving Katharine Viner, the current editor in chief of The Guardian's US operation, the job of leading the liberal British newspaper and media group as it seeks to expand its global ambitions.
Viner, 44, will take over from Alan Rusbridger, who will step down in the summer after 20 years as editor. In those two decades, The Guardian has undergone a rapid transformation, switching its focus from print to digital journalism, expanding its United States operations and sharing its first Pulitzer Prize.
The appointment was made by the Scott Trust, a non-profit body and owner of The Guardian.
