Bartees Cox, deputy press secretary at the FCC, has left the commission, FCC press secretary Kim Hart confirms.

Cox left at the end of last week for a job in New York, said Hart.

Before joining the FCC earlier this year, Cox was a spokesman for Public Knowledge, whose founder, Gigi Sohn, joined the FCC a year ago as special counsel for external affairs to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.

Before joining Public Knowledge in 2012, Cox was an intern at Free Press.
