a publication based in Washington, D.C., with extensive multimedia ties that
began publishing both in print and on the Web on Jan. 23, 2007. We offer our
readers and viewers intensive and incisive coverage of Congress, the executive
branch and the national political scene. The newspaper normally appears five
days a week whenever Congress is in session and once a week when it is not. It
is owned by Allbritton Communications,

Until undertaking this new post, I wrote a weekly column for The Hill, another Washington-based
newspaper that covers Congress, after having served as the paper’s senior
editor in 2002 and as its managing editor from January 2003 until April 2004.

non-dailies in six states:

News Service for potential use by some 650 newspapers worldwide. Some of my
columns from those years are still available online.
During the 2001 fall semester, I served as a research fellow at the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press,
Politics and Public Policy at the John
F. Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University in
Over the years, I've appeared on such television "newsmaker" programs,
among others, as NBC's
"Meet the Press," CBS'

America," CNN's
"Crossfire" and CSPAN's
"Washington Journal."
Prior to joining Cox and POLITICO, I had viewed the Washington
scene, both as a journalist and as a senatorial aide, since 1962. I covered the
White House and Congress for the Washington Post, Newsweek and the former

I belong to the American Society of
Newspaper Editors, the National Press Club,
the Cosmos Club, and
the Metropolitan Club of Washington. (In
2001, I served as president of the
Gridiron Club. The club has 65 active members drawn from all sectors of the
Washington journalism community and puts on an annual skit for its guests, who
in 2001, the year of my presidency, included, among others, then President Bush and Vice President Cheney.)
