The Washington Post’s foreign staff plans to boost Middle East coverage, while also focusing more on enterprise and in-depth stories over breaking news in coming months.
“We will have at least half of our correspondents in the area from Jerusalem to Beijing,” said Doug Jehl, who took over the foreign editor post from David Hoffman last month. “We are thinking through some of our deployments.”
He adds that the 14-person overseas staff is not expected to increase, but may see some transferring to increase the presence in the middle east and far east areas.
