Keach Hagey of Politico.com writes Thursday that there’s speculation that New York Times business columnist David Leonhardt, who won a Pulitzer Prize earlier this year, could become the paper’s next Washington bureau chief.
“Leonhardt, 38, is part of a younger generation at the paper, and as the paper’s economics and business columnist, not an obvious choice for such a highly political job.
“But he’s well-respected among his colleagues and this year won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary for what judges called ‘his graceful penetration of America’s complicated economic questions, from the federal budget deficit to health care reform.’
“He joined the Times in 1999, having previously worked at The Washington Post and Business Week. At Yale, he edited the Yale Daily News.
“Leonhardt did not respond to a request for comment. A New York Times spokeswoman declined to comment.”
