We are thrilled to announce that Megan Bridgeman is joining The Washington Post as an SEO editor based on the West Coast. In this role, Megan will help support the SEO team’s mission of reaching audiences on search platforms, with a specific focus bridging the hours between the team’s editors in D.C. and our global audience team in Seoul.
