The Washington Post named longtime staffer Liz Seymour as its newest managing editor on Thursday. Seymour, who has been with the paper for 25 years, will get bumped up from her current role as executive features editor to managing editor, a title three other WaPo employees have. “No one is a fiercer advocate for Post journalism than Liz,” Executive Editor Matt Murray said in a note to employees. She has a Bachelor’s degree from Smith College and earned her journalism Master’s degree from Columbia University. “The formidable Washington Post newsroom is unlike any other I’ve experienced,” Seymour said in a statement.
