Washington Post names Coward assistant editor on the Opinions Operations team

Kaitlin Coward

The Washington Post has appointed Kaitlin Coward as an assistant editor on the Opinions Operations team.

Coward joined the Post full-time in 2018 after serving as an editing intern on the multiplatform desk. She then held the post of multiplatform editor and digital producer at the Post. Coward has divided her time working both on the multiplatform desk and the Opinions Ops team.

She ensures every piece she edits is up to the Post’s standards, she writes sharp headlines for columns and editorials, runs the Opinions homepage space, project-manages the long-form Opinions Essays, and coordinates changes between the two teams.

Before joining the Post, Coward was at The Post Athens. She joined as a stringer and then held the post of staff writer. Later on, she became news editor and then served as managing editor.

She was also a copy-editing intern at The New York Times and served as a sales associate at Elder-Beerman. She was also a reporting intern at The Courier.

Coward is a B.S. in Journalism from Ohio University.
