ProPublica has hired three talented reporters to join its expanding Washington newsroom. These journalists have years of experience covering complicated issues and secretive agencies. They’ve reported on political extremism, foreign policy, cyber and national security, and Big Tech’s growing influence in our government and lives.

“ProPublica’s successful record of accountability reporting makes us uniquely prepared to cover the enormous changes ahead in Washington in a way that will make clear who’s benefiting and who’s being harmed,” Managing Editor Ginger Thompson said. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to add three new powerhouse players to our team.”

The new reporters, who will join ProPublica’s Washington bureau in December, are:

• Hannah Allam, a national security reporter with The Washington Post.
• Christopher Bing, a cybersecurity and intelligence reporter for Reuters in Washington who has explored how digital espionage impacts national security and foreign affairs.
• Avi Asher-Schapiro, a tech correspondent for the Thomson Reuters Foundation in Los Angeles.
