Dept. of Welcome Baskets: Ryan Lizza Joins The New Yorker
Filed under: Headline Shooter Tagged: David Remnick, Jeffrey Goldberg, masthead, politics, Ryan Lizza
A warm Emdashes welcome to Ryan Lizza, who, on August 1 becomes The New Yorker’s new Washington Correspondent.
Lizza comes to the magazine from The New Republic (some of his recent articles), where he has been a political correspondent since 1998, most recently as a senior editor. As David Remnick announced today, Lizza will cover Washington, national politics, and the 2008 Presidential campaign. —John Bucher

So far, I’ve liked Lizza’s stuff quite well.
On the same beat, a pleasant surprise was George Packer’s insightful article about the behind-the-scenes Hillary Clinton. We all knew Packer was good, but I was nonplussed to see him take a break from the Iraq watch to profile Hillary (just after the hiring of Lizza, no less). He provided a fresh, fascinating take on HRC we haven’t seen elsewhere.
