New Delhi: Senior journalist Harish Khare will be the new Media Adviser to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

62-year old Khare, senior Associate Editor and Chief of Bureau of The Hindu, is a well known political columnist.

He is expected to take over next week.

Khare, who holds a PhD in political science from Yale University, has also worked as editor of the Ahmedabad edition of The Times of India and as a senior Editor for Hindustan Times.

Khare will succeed Deepak Sandhu, who was appointed to the post last year after Sanjaya Baru took up a teaching assignment in Singapore.
