Washington Post appoints Ginsberg managing editor

Steven Ginsberg

The following excerpt memo was sent out by The Washington Post’s executive editor Sally Buzbee and senior managing editor Cameron Barr:

We are happy to announce the appointment of Steven Ginsberg as managing editor overseeing Metro, National and Sports.

In his nearly 30 years at The Washington Post, Steven has regularly demonstrated his capacity to think big, inspire his colleagues to bring his ideas to fruition and wow readers with the spectacular results.

His focus will be to guide these departments to continue to break news, in both spot stories and enterprise, and to present their journalism in the most innovative ways possible.

Steven’s ardent cultivation of our political report – in 2008, he became deputy National politics editor and then dropped the “deputy” and later added “senior” – has helped to cement The Post’s dominance in the coverage of American politics.

Steven grew up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1994 with a degree in government. Soon after, he joined The Post as a nighttime copy aide. He spent nearly three years as a news aide, then became a reporter and columnist on Financial before moving to Metro to cover Prince William and Stafford counties, two Virginia General Assembly sessions and regional transportation. An introduction to editing on Metro in 2007 preceded his move to National the following year.
