Announcement from Executive Editor Sally Buzbee, Senior Managing Editor Cameron Barr, Managing Editor Steven Ginsberg, Managing Editor Tracy Grant, Managing Editor Krissah Thompson, and Chief Product Officer and Managing Editor Kat Downs Mulder:

We are very happy to announce a new leadership team for the National staff.

Matea Gold, the driving force behind many of The Post’s most impactful and high-profile stories, will become National editor, and Philip Rucker, one of the nation’s premier political reporters, will serve as deputy National editor.

Steven Ginsberg, The Washington Post’s national editor who led the organization’s political coverage through the Trump years and helped propel the company to one of its most successful periods with reporting that brought Pulitzer Prizes along with enormous readership, was named as the paper’s new managing editor Thursday. In this position, Ginsberg will oversee the organization’s main news sections, including the National, Metro and Sports sections.

Sharif Durhams, Monica Norton and Mark W. Smith will become deputy managing editors of The Washington Post. Each of these journalists brings a wealth of expertise and a record of accomplishment to these important new positions. We are excited about adding their energy and perspectives to the crucial task of directing the daily report across our platforms, overseeing our enterprise journalism and strengthening our capacity to cover breaking news in a way that prioritizes urgency and accessibility.
