Editor in chief of The Intercept Betsy Reed has joined The Guardian as US editor.
She is a former executive editor of The Nation and will succeed John Mulholland, editor since April 2017, who announced earlier this year that he would be stepping down.
Reed said: “ It will be an honor and a thrill to lead a team of talented journalists dedicated to revealing what matters about American politics and culture to a global audience – exposing corruption and injustice, interrogating US cultural power, and holding institutions accountable from Washington to Wall Street to Silicon Valley. I can’t imagine a more critical moment to be pursuing this journalistic mission, or a news organization better positioned to execute it.”
