Sally Buzbee announced she is stepping down as executive editor of The Washington Post. Buzbee’s departure came as a surprise to many late on Sunday night, including Post reporters themselves.
Buzbee will be succeeded by Matt Murray, the former Editor-in-Chief of the Wall Street Journal, in the short term. British investigative reporter Robert Winnett, currently the deputy editor of The Telegraph Media Group, will also join the Post in a new role designed to oversee core coverage areas like politics, investigations, business, technology, sports, and features.
Winnett, who began his national newspaper career at Rupert Murdoch’s Sunday Times, moved to the Telegraph nearly two decades ago, assisting in the coverage of the massive parliamentary expenses scandal story that broke in 2009. At the time, Winnett worked under Will Lewis, who is now the publisher of the Bezos-owned Post.
Winnett and Lewis aren’t the only Brits making America their home for news reporting. CNN recently brought in the BBC’s Mark Thompson. GB News recently sent reporter Steven Edginton to Washington, D.C., and the Daily Mail’s Rob Crilly can often be spotted around Capitol Hill. The National Pulse is also edited by a Brit, Raheem Kassam.
