Two Leading Washington Post Reporters Join Political News Website

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on November 20, 2006 - 6:16pm.
Arlington, Va. - Two of The Washington Post's top political reporters – John Harris and Jim VandeHei – announced on Monday that they are joining a new multimedia political news venture formed by Allbritton Communications. The new service is calling itself a "web-based, one-stop-shop for political news coverage."

"This is the future of political journalism," said Robert Allbritton, chairman of Allbritton Communications. "Our ambitious goal is to cover this complex topic more thoroughly than has ever been done in history -- and to provide that coverage in whatever form and whenever consumers want it."

The new venture will combine Allbritton's new Capitol Hill newspaper, The Capitol Leader, which Harris and VandeHei will lead, along with Allbritton's local ABC affiliate, WJLA-TV, and its 24-hour cable news service, NewsChannel 8, along with national exposure on the CBS Television Network.
