Jonathan Greenberger Named Politico’s Global Editor In Chief

Political news outlet Politico has named Jonathan Greenberger as its next global editor in chief, succeeding co-founder John Harris, who will transition to the role of chairman effective May 1, 2024, following a decade as ABC News' Washington bureau chief. Greenberger joined Politico in 2024 as executive vice president before ascending to the top editorial position, bringing extensive experience in political journalism to one of Washington's most influential media organizations. The leadership change marks a significant transition for Politico, which has established itself as a powerhouse in political reporting since its founding in 2007. Harris, who co-founded Politico with Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, will now focus on the company's strategic direction as chairman while Greenberger takes the reins of editorial operations. Greenberger's appointment comes at a time of increasing competition in political media and evolving consumption patterns among news audiences, positioning Politico to navigate the changing media landscape with new leadership at the helm.
