Sally ushers in an important new era of leadership, growth, and innovation to our newsroom. A world-class journalist, she is steeped in the courageous work that is our hallmark and is committed to delivering the trusted, fact-based, inclusive news coverage you expect from The Washington Post. Most recently, as executive editor of the Associated Press, she led one of the world’s largest and most respected news organizations.
Sally is widely admired for her absolute integrity, boundless energy, and dedication to the essential role journalism plays in safeguarding our democracy. That dedication is matched only by her fierce commitment to bringing you, the reader, closer to the story, allowing you to take something meaningful away from it.
