Washington Post taps Sally Buzbee as first female executive editor
NY Post
The Washington Post on Tuesday named Sally Buzbee of the Associated Press to be its new executive editor — the first woman to hold the job in the paper’s 144-year history.
Buzbee succeeds Marty Baron, who stepped down in February from the helm of the paper now owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. “Sally Buzbee has an exceptional record of achievement and a tremendous wealth of experience in leading a global news organization,” said Fred Ryan, publisher and CEO of the Washington Post. “In an extensive search that included many of the best journalists in America, Sally stood out as the right person to lead The Post going forward. She is widely admired for her absolute integrity, boundless energy, and dedication to the essential role journalism plays in safeguarding our democracy.”More Related News
