Chucky gets even more responsibility. Here's the scoop along with his bio:

NBC News announced today that Chuck Todd has been named Chief White House correspondent. Joining him on the beat will be Savannah Guthrie, who has been named White House Correspondent. The announcements were made today by NBC News President Steve Capus, and are effective immediately. [...]

Todd will retain his title as NBC News Political Director in addition to his new duties on the White House beat. As part of this announcement, he is also being named Contributing Editor to "Meet the Press," where he will make frequent appearances to offer reporting and political analysis.

Todd joined NBC News as Political Director in March 2007. In addition to his on-air analysis, Todd has been responsible for all aspects of the network's political coverage, including maintaining contact with the campaigns and serving as the point person for political news and information. He is also the editor of "First Read," NBC's must-read guide to political news and trends in and around Washington, D.C. (www.firstread.msnbc.com), and writes weekly analysis columns for MSNBC.com.

Before joining NBC News, Todd was the Editor-in-Chief of National Journal's "The Hotline," Washington's premier daily briefing on American Politics. In his 15 years working at "The Hotline" or one of its affiliates, Todd became one of Washington's foremost experts on political campaigns of all levels. He served as Editor-in-Chief for six years. He also serves as a contributing editor to "The Atlantic Monthly" where he pens political essays, and he teaches a graduate-level political communications course at the Johns Hopkins University. In December 2005, Todd was featured as one of "Washingtonian's 'Best Of'" journalists.
