San Francisco Examiner Executive Editor James Pimentel (pictured) has been put in charge of the Web sites for the Examiner editions here and in Washington and Baltimore.

While remaining as executive editor he will gain the additional title of executive producer.

“As the executive producer of the three sites, Pimentel will manage them and help build them into leading destinations on the Web for local and national breaking news,” an announcement from the Examiner said.
