The new Washington bureau will focus on politics, policy, defense, law, intelligence and national security. Damian Paletta, our new Washington coverage chief, starts next week and will focus our efforts in these areas to deliver work that serves the readers and stands out from the competition. This means the Business team in Washington is closing as is the Washington-based U.S.-China team. Brent Kendall, the law bureau chief, will take on the expanded role of Justice, Judiciary and Law Editor. It is imperative that we have the right structure in Washington to deliver trusted, ambitious reporting for our readers in an election year and beyond.
