Vox hires Cohen to cover domestic policy

The following excerpt note was sent to the newsroom by Vox editor Libby Nelson, along with editorial director Ryan McCarthy:

Rachel Cohen is joining Vox as a senior reporter covering domestic policy. Rachel was most recently a contributing writer for the Intercept and a freelance writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the Guardian, and many other outlets.

Rachel’s work brings clarity to important moments in the news; it challenges orthodoxy and asks tough questions; it embraces nuance. In short, it exemplifies what we want Vox policy reporting to be, and I could not be more thrilled to welcome Rachel to the team.

Rachel is based in Washington, DC. Her first day is April 4, and she will be reporting to me. —Libby Nelson
