About Devon Haynie
I\'m managing editor for the news team at U.S. News & World Report, where I oversee our national news coverage and two newsletters. I\'ve launched several new digital sections, and work closely with our PR, social and analytics team to ensure our journalism gets the exposure it deserves. As a seasoned writer, I specialize in longform feature stories. I also serve as a capstone advisor and adjunct faculty with the graduate journalism program at Georgetown University.
