In a significant leadership change at Politico, founding editor in chief John F. Harris is stepping away from day-to-day newsroom management, with global editor Matthew Kaminski set to take charge of the US operation.<\/p>\n
The transition, announced today, signals a generational shift for Politico more than a decade after its launch helped redefine political journalism in Washington. It reflects an organisation seeking continuity in its core coverage while repositioning itself for a more competitive and international media environment.<\/p>\n
Harris, who co-founded Politico in 2007 with Jim VandeHei, will remain at the company as founding editor. In the new role he will focus on long-term strategy and expansion, stepping back from the daily news cycle he has overseen since the publication\u2019s early days.<\/p>\n
Kaminski, who becomes editor in chief, has served as Politico\u2019s global editor and previously led the launch of its European edition. A former Wall Street Journal reporter, he is widely credited with giving the organisation a stronger international outlook, a background that now shapes his promotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatt has proven himself as a leader with tireless ambition,\u201d said owner Robert Allbritton in a memo to staff.
\nKaminski will now run the US newsroom, charged with sustaining Politico\u2019s dominance in Beltway coverage while guiding the publication through its next stage of growth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
