The following excerpt announcement was sent out by The Washington Post climate and environment editor Trish Wilson, deputy climate and environment editor Juliet Eilperin, and climate solutions editor Dayana Sarkisova:

We are thrilled to announce that Anna Phillips is joining The Post as its national climate reporter.

Anna has been a journalist for a dozen years, most recently in the Washington bureau of The Los Angeles Times, where she covered federal environmental policy and how climate change impacts California.  Anna came to the LA Times in 2016 from the Tampa Bay Times, where she had what may be the most colorful job in journalism: Tampa courts reporter.

Anna grew up in Lower Merion, Pa., and earned her bachelor’s in American history from Columbia University.
