Will has been in Moscow since July, filling in until a new bureau chief could be chosen, and writing about mass grave sites, crash landings, criminal investigations and mysterious explosions. In 2017, W.W. Norton published his book, “March 1917: On the Brink of War and Revolution.” In 2014, after covering the ouster of a president in Ukraine, Will became an assignment editor on Foreign, running a stable of talented foreign correspondents.
Will began writing for The Post in 2010, when he and his wife Kathy Lally moved to Moscow. It was their third joint tour in Russia, the first two having been in the 1990s for The Baltimore Sun. From 2008 to 2010 he covered the White House for National Journal.Before that, Will spent several decades at The Sun, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1998 for a project on shipbreaking that took him from Brownsville, Texas, to a fetid beach in India.
Will was born and grew up in Westchester County, N.Y., but is now a confirmed Baltimorean, commuting along with Kathy on the MARC. He has a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Harvard. Every year he makes a roasted pumpkin dish for Thanksgiving that he learned from a cook in northern Afghanistan in 2001.
Will begins his beat Dec. 16. Please join us in congratulating him on his new role.
