NEW YORK -- Beth Duff-Brown, chief of bureau for The Associated Press in New Delhi since 2000, has been named the AP's new chief of bureau in Toronto.

The appointment was announced Oct. 6 by Deborah Seward, AP's international editor.

A native of California, Duff-Brown graduated from Northwestern University with a master's in journalism.
