An announcement from National Editor Mike Semel, Senior Editor for National News and Strategy Rachel Van Dongen, National Security Editor Ben Pauker and Deputy National Security Editor Andy deGrandpre:
We are thrilled to announce that Adam Taylor will be joining the National Security team to take on the role of State Department reporter.
This is a position that demands a high metabolism, the fluidity and authority to report on the conduct of U.S. foreign policy in every corner of the world, and a bunch of free passport pages — all of which Adam has in spades after a long and successful run on the International desk.
Adam first joined The Post in 2014 to helm the WorldViews blog and later served as co-author of the newsletter of the same name. In the intervening years, he’s reported from across the world, with multiple trips to East Asia, the Middle East and Ukraine. While developing sourcing in Washington and foreign capitals, he’s showcased a breadth of reporting on foreign policy issues — from Russian military tactics to U.S. economic sanctions to the diplomatic alliances frayed by the Israel-Gaza war — and even moonlighted on the National desk to cover protests in Portland and hurricanes in Florida.
Before joining The Post, Adam worked as an editor and reporter for Business Insider in New York City and other outlets. Originally from southwest London, he moved to the United States in 2008 to study at Columbia School of Journalism. He conducted undergraduate studies in economics and international relations at the University of Manchester and has visited Russia, Japan and South Korea during academic and professional exchanges.
He started in his new role — teaming up with John Hudson — on April 14.
Please join us in wishing him well in his new role.
