Sally Buzbee, Executive Editor

Dear Washington Post readers,

I couldn't be more excited to serve as executive editor of The Washington Post. I came here because of the respect I have for the institution and its people. Over the last month, I've spent time meeting and learning from my new colleagues, and it has been a pleasure putting faces to the names of the journalists we rely on for news that impacts our lives and everyday decisions. Their collective curiosity, vigor, and passion for this important work is palpable and inspiring, and it is a privilege to play a role in sharing their expertise with you.

I've spent my career pursuing the facts, seeking out stories of significance, and holding the powerful to account. To lead the biggest newsroom in The Washington Post's history is an incredible honor for me. But to also join The Washington Post at this moment in history feels like the beginning of a journey we are embarking on together. The world is ever changing, yet our commitment to you and to the profession I love, is not. We will continue to deliver the quality journalism that you have come to expect, reporting relevant and meaningful information and analysis in ways that are most accessible and convenient to you.

We'll work daily to ensure the growing, diverse range of voices in our newsroom is heard and reflected, and that we are diligently finding and telling the stories that spotlight the experiences of our diverse readers.

As you may have read, we're expanding our global footprint, meaning you'll have access to even more real-time coverage. Establishing breaking-news hubs in Europe and Asia gives us the ability to cover live events as they are unfolding around the globe, so you can depend on us for timely news reports at any hour, whether in Australia or on Capitol Hill.

We're combining our legacy of deeply sourced, fact-based, investigative journalism with cutting-edge digital innovation, keeping us at the forefront of journalism's future so that you are both informed and delighted. You can look forward to more award-winning video and audio storytelling and insightful, beautiful and immersive graphic presentations.

The most important thing I want to share is that we'll always have a relentless focus on you, our valued readers. There is so much ahead. I am thrilled to be part of The Washington Post's future and hope you are, too.
