Jackie Alemany exits WaPo for MSNBC
Jackie Alemany, who covered politics for both CBS News and The Washington Post, will move to MSNBC, where she will serve as co-host of one of its “The Weekend” panel programs and as a Washington correspondent, reports Variety. Alemany will anchor a morning version of “The Weekend” alongside Jonathan Capehart, who has worked Saturdays and Sundays for MSNBC for the past few years, and Eugene Daniels, the Politico correspondent who also has moved to MSNBC.
“Jackie has built a reputation of accountability journalism covering the nation’s capital from both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue,” said Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC’s president, in a statement.
Alemany had recently been assigned to the White House for The Washington Post, and has contributed to coverage of the second Trump administration’s efforts to restructure the federal government. She was a member of a Washington Post team that received the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, reports Variety.
She also founded and led the early-morning Post newsletter now known as the Early Brief
According to Wikipedia, Alemany joined The Washington Post in 2018 after six years at CBS News to author PowerUp, an early-morning newsletter that focused on national politics, the White House and Congress. In 2021, she was appointed a congressional correspondent. Alemany also worked as a contributor at Vogue, and the Huffington Post.
