Katharine Viner, the editor in chief at Guardian News & Media said:

“With Betsy joining to lead our U.S. efforts, and with over 1 million paying supporters around the world, I feel very optimistic about the prospects for Guardian U.S.”

Following Reed’s departure, The Intercept has promoted deputy editor Roger Hodge to succeed Reed and Washington editor Nausicaa Renner to deputy editor.
