The following excerpt announcement was sent out by The Washington Post’s multiplatform editing chief Courtney Rukan, deputy multiplatform editing chief Brian Cleveland and news service managing editor Effie Dawson:

We are thrilled to announce that Allison Cho, who joined the Multiplatform Desk on a part-time basis after being selected as part of the would-be intern class of 2020, has been promoted to a full-time copy editor at The Post.
