WaPo names energy/infrastructure reporter

Washington Post national economy and business editor Greg Schneider and deputy business editor David Cho sent out the following announcement:

We’re thrilled to announce that Steven Mufson is moving to a new beat focusing on energy and infrastructure after a successful run covering the Obama administration’s economic policy, including topics ranging from presidential eulogies to the Paris climate summit.

Steve will take a broad approach in his reporting, illuminating the big personalities and giant companies that dominate these important and fast-changing parts of the global economy. He’ll examine political influence, pricing schemes, legal issues, policy questions — deploying the full range of his vast expertise and experience in his coverage.

Steve has brought a sophisticated understanding of world and economic affairs to his time as Financial’s member of the White House team, and we’re excited for him to start this new role.
