United Press International named a new team of top news editors to replace a group of editors who resigned to protest financial constraints by the owner of the 80-year-old wire service. Starting today, Al Rossiter Jr., UPI’s award-winning science editor, will be executive editor. Bill Ferguson, UPI’s managing editor-broadcast, becomes managing editor-national. International reporter Leon Daniel becomes managing editor-international. Michael Freedman, currently director of the UPI Radio Network, succeeds Ferguson as managing editor-broadcast.
