The following excerpt announcement was sent out by The Washington Post executive features editor Liz Seymour, features deputy editor Mitch Rubin and features deputy editor David Malitz:

We are thrilled to announce that Jenny Rogers will be joining Features as Lifestyle editor.

Jenny will oversee a talented and growing Lifestyle team that includes four editors (one in charge of each of its coverage areas — Wellness, Home, Parenting and KidsPost), three reporters, an editorial aide and a vast network of freelance contributors.

Jenny spent the first five years of her Post career as an editor in Outlook, where she commissioned and edited pieces on and off the news on a wide array of topics. Before coming to The Post, she was assistant managing editor at Washington City Paper, a gossip columnist at the Washington Examiner and a local reporter at TBD.com.
