The following excerpt announcement was sent out by The Washington Post’s foreign editor Douglas Jehl:
I’m happy to announce that Susan Levine has agreed to take on an interim role as deputy foreign editor.
Since 2018, she has been editor of the Talent Network, a job requiring close collaboration around the newsroom. Susan is one of the newsroom’s most hard-working and conscientious editors, qualities that will be needed as she steps into her interim role.
From 1993 to 2008, she worked on The Post’s Metro staff covering health, medicine, aging and the death penalty, as a special projects reporter and as assistant Virginia editor for state government and politics. She spent two years at Politico as deputy editor of a 10-person health-care-policy vertical, then returned to The Post in 2015 as the National Desk’s deputy health, science and environment editor.
She will take over as interim deputy on April 4, after transitioning into the role during Eva Rodriguez’s last two weeks. She will remain in the role until a permanent deputy is in place.
For the duration of Susan’s work on Foreign, Carrie Camillo, the deputy Talent Network editor, will lead the Post’s freelance system and handle newsroom editors’ deployment of reporters for all breaking news and enterprise needs.
