The following excerpt announcement was sent out by The Washington Post’s opinion section’s chief multiplatform editor Trey Johnson and manager of editorial talent and logistics Nana Efua Mumford:
We are very excited to announce two additions to the Editorial-Opinions multiplatform editor team.
John Romero has been with The Post since 2012, initially splitting his time between the copy desks in News and Sports. He has worked in a variety of multiplatform editing roles, most recently as night editor for the News Service.
Prior to joining The Post, John worked on copy desks throughout Northern California (Contra Costa Times, Fresno Bee) before coming to the East Coast in 2008 and joining USA Today.
Judah Taylor joins us from Politico, where he managed the homepage and wrote headlines and push alerts. He helped create new workflows for headline testing, alert sending and copy editing. He previously worked as a copy editor and producer for the organization, beginning in 2018.
Before Politico, Judah spent about two years as a copy and wire editor at the Virginian-Pilot. He also worked as a local government reporter in both Virginia and his native Kentucky.
He is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, where he earned a BA in journalism.
John and Judah will both start on Nov. 29.
