- Politico executive editor Dafna Linzer will leave the publication this month, editor-in-chief Matt Kaminski told staffers in an email Thursday. He writes that he and Linzer “have always been aligned on the goal of making POLITICO the world’s premier source of news on politics, policy, and power” but that the pair “saw ourselves diverging over the best way to get there” and began to discuss her departure in December.
- Politico announced Linzer’s hire last March, saying her “appointment is one of the critical steps we are taking this spring to position POLITICO for a great new era.”
