The following excerpt was sent out from The Washington Post‘s local editor Mike Semel and deputy local editor Maria Glod:
Justin Jouvenal
We are thrilled to announce that Justin Jouvenal has assumed a new role on the Local staff, in which he will contribute to breaking news across the region and write quick-turn deeper dives off the news as well as longer-term enterprise stories.
Justin started at The Post in 2009, when the newsroom and website were split, and moved to an early-morning breaking news beat in 2010. The following year, he began covering policing in Virginia, also focusing on criminal justice trends nationwide.
Justin and his wife, Sandhya Somashekhar, an editor on the Business desk, live in Takoma Park with their two children.
