Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, sent the following to the staff on Wednesday:

Some good news for you, amid all the other news: Annie Lowrey is joining us as a writer. She’ll focus on covering economic policy, principally with Becca and the Biz team. You’ll know Annie from her great work at The New York Times, New York mag, Slate, and elsewhere. I know she’s excited to be coming to The Atlantic now and working with everyone here. Annie lives in Washington, and she’ll be among us at the Watergate starting next week, so look forward to that.

Lowrey will start with The Atlantic next week, working on the team led by Business Editor Rebecca Rosen.

Aggressive reporting is driving all-time record audiences to The Atlantic: January set a new traffic record to TheAtlantic.com, with 32.7 million monthly unique visitors. Jan. 29 and Jan. 30 were the two biggest traffic days in the history of the site.
