**AdWeek listed The Washington Post** on its [2020 Hot List](https://www.adweek.com/tv-video/the-2020-publishing-hot-list-the-print-and-media-brands-rising-to-covid-19s-challenges/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) as “Hottest in News” for its coverage of President Trump’s impeachment trial and as “Hottest in Social Media” for its TikTok account.

According to Adweek: “Before Covid-19 dominated news coverage, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump in December 2019 and the Senate acquitted him in February. The Washington Post led that coverage with steadfast reporting, a live blog and an expanded 5-Minute Fix newsletter, which went from three days a week to five and grew its audience by 69% year over year. Soon after, the Post’s political reporters adjusted to covering an unrelenting and ubiquitous pandemic in the midst of a tumultuous election year, but the outlet’s noteworthy impeachment coverage will undoubtedly be referenced for many years to help contextualize the Trump presidency.”

In addition, says Adweek: “Dave Jorgenson, the face of The Washington Post’s TikTok account, has a different mission than many of his colleagues in the newsroom. While reporters dig for truth in all corners of the world, Jorgenson and his team, backed by executive producer Michelle Jaconi, work to make the Post accessible and approachable to its more than 700,000 followers on the platform—many of whom are in the hard-to-reach Gen Z demographic. The Post has also used the channel as a marketing tool, often encouraging followers to subscribe to the publication. If “Democracy Dies in the Darkness” remains a battle cry for the Post’s reporters, its TikTok is a cool handshake and an inside joke for legions of young users and future subscribers.”
