Wishing you nothing but happiness @Rachel_Sadon. You have been an amazing force for good local journalism in DC. You will be missed by your friends at @postlocal
Today is my last day at @wamu885 and @DCist. It has been an honor to lead this extraordinary team of journalists, whose tenacity, thoughtfulness, compassion, and dedication to doing this work has inspired me every day.

I'm staying far, far away from the local DC news threads. But I will leave this right here. @postlocal Tracking D.C.-area homicides wapo.st/homicides?tid=ss_tw

And I also will add a plug for @RealTimeNews10 who hustles and gets it right and provides a crucial service to the region.

The announcement tells you what kind of journalist @schmidtsam7 is. But the unprecedented outpouring of respect from her colleagues on this sometimes-wretched web site tells you what kind of person she is. We will miss her greatly @postlocal but thrilled to see what comes next.
Some surreal personal news: I will soon be moving to Colombia as The Post's new Bogotá bureau chief! It's been a lifelong dream to work as a correspondent in Latin America, and I can't wait to join this talented team of reporters. washingtonpost.com/pr/2021/0…
