Editor, the 7
Dec 2021 — Present · Washington, DC, US
I lead the team that produces The 7’s daily products, including the morning news briefing (available weekdays from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern), the newsletter and the podcast. The 7 is The Post\'s flagship newsletter.• In November 2022, we launched The 7 podcast, a daily morning show, in collaboration with The Post\'s audio team. In January 2024, my team took over hosting duties and all scripting of the podcast. • In October 2022, in collaboration with The Post\'s Local team, I helped launch The 7 DMV, a daily newsletter that covered The Post\'s local coverage area. Our team continued to advise and publish the newsletter until June 2024.• In February 2025, we launched The 7: Tracking Trump, a daily afternoon pop-up newsletter that will run through the first 100 days of Donald Trump\'s second presidency.• In October 2025, I launched The 7 Weekend Edition, which answers reader questions about the stories they\'ve read in The 7, and also shares the team\'s favorite recent stories.
