The following was sent out from The Washington Post’s national editor Matea Gold, deputy national editor Philip Rucker, health and science editor Stephen Smith, deputy health and science editor Carol Eisenberg and health and science assignment editor Katie Zezima:
We are delighted to announce that Tracy Jan is joining the Health and Science team as an assignment editor after a distinguished tour with Financial, where she wrote about the intersection of race and the economy.
Tracy’s reporting has been honored by the National Association of Black Journalists, and she contributed to the six-part series “George Floyd’s America,” which won a Polk Award.
Her work covering health care makes her well-suited to join Health and Science. And while reporting from the Boston Globe’s D.C. bureau, Tracy wrote about health policy and money, telling stories from the corridors of power in Washington and from hospitals and free-care clinics around the country.
Before coming to The Post, Tracy spent 12 years at the Globe, first writing about education and then as a national political reporter covering the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections. She previously worked as a reporter at the Oregonian in Portland.
Tracy was a Knight-Wallace fellow at the University of Michigan, where she studied medical ethics, health-care economics and reproductive justice.
Tracy joins Health and Science on May 2. Please join us in congratulating her on her new role.
