They announced Emilio's promotion to digital guru in October, but he had to stay as local editor until they found a replacement:

That's good to hear; I had missed that. Emilio is excellent but might have been put in a position where it would have been tough to succeed without more news experience at a super-charged place like the Post.

Looks like Washington Post named a Local Editor. The memo (excerpted below) doesn't mention what Emilio is/will be doing.

We are pleased to announce that Vernon Loeb will be returning to The Post
as Local Editor.

Vernon joins us from The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he has been deputy
managing editor for news, overseeing the metro, business, health & science
and national/foreign desks, as well as the newsroom’s interactions with
Philly.com. It’s his second stint at the Inquirer, having previously
covered the statehouse and City Hall and done a tour as a correspondent in
Southeast Asia.

The last time he decamped from Philadelphia, in 1994, it was also to The
Post, where he covered the second round of Marion Barry as mayor, before
moving to the National Staff to cover the CIA and the Pentagon. He left The
Post after a decade to run California investigations for the Los Angeles
Times.

Vernon Loeb is a pro. Losing him will be a blow to the Inky.
