We are excited to announce that Vincent Lee will be joining the Weekend Americas team as an editor after a standout stint on the DC Breaking News team, where he was also the deputy team leader. One of his favorite headlines wins was when Biden failed to show up at a public event because he tested positive for Covid.

Before his Reuters career, he was the business and finance reporter for Dow Jones in Seoul and Singapore.His deep experience at newswires, along with his years of triaging DC news, particularly when it comes to Donald Trump, will be a tremendous asset to the weekend squad.The DC Breaking news team will greatly miss Vincent’s speed, news judgment, and great camaraderie.Please join us in congratulating Vincent on his new role.
