The Washington Post is expanding its investigative
journalism, adding 10 staff positions to The Post’s newsroom.
“Our goal is to further strengthen an already
robust Investigative Unit and to continue distributing investigative firepower
throughout the newsroom,” said Martin Baron, executive editor of The Post.
The Post is supplementing its Investigative
Unit with five staffers, including a reporter and additional editor for
fast-turnaround work, a reporter to pursue longer-term projects, a researcher
and a FOIA specialist who will partner with all newsroom departments to pursue
journalistic opportunities in federal, state and local public records.
The current initiative calls for The Post to
also add investigative reporters to several newsroom teams, including sports,
climate and environment and foreign. These positions supplement existing
full-time reporter roles assigned to investigative journalism in departments
including business, local and national.
