Jonathan Greenberger, Washington bureau chief of ABC News, joins POLITICO as Executive Vice President

  Jonathan Greenberger, most recently Washington bureau chief of ABC News, is joining POLITICO as executive vice president. 

According to POLITICO, Greenberger spent most of his career at ABC, “where he is a deeply respected figure, so the decision to join us was not one he made lightly. The attraction, he made clear to us, was to join a news organization at a moment of high fluidity. Jonathan understood something we hope everyone here understands: There is no limit in sight to what we can do to make this very good publication much greater, as a business and as a journalistic force around the world. Realizing these possibilities—at a time of technological change and significant competition in key arenas—is going to require a new level of dedication, discipline, innovation, and managerial acuity.”

POLITICO added: “We enticed Jonathan with a mix of near-term and long-term assignments.

“In the near-term, we are asking him to create a template for how we can set the agenda at major events in the United States and globally, starting with the conventions this summer. Jonathan will take the lead on behalf of the newsroom in ensuring major publishing success at the 2024 conventions. As we recently announced, POLITICO is partnering with CNN in Chicago and Milwaukee to produce the CNN-POLITICO Grill, which will be the prime destination and place to be for VIP convention goers in each city. We have made a publication-wide commitment to editorial and business success at the conventions, as a high-point of our year-long effort to be second to none in covering the 2024 elections. Jonathan will coordinate the substantial editorial assets we are bringing to bear at the conventions, work closely with our successful newsroom live events team, and regularly collaborate with business-side colleagues to execute a winning approach.

“In the longer-term, we are expecting Jonathan to be an indispensable partner as we think about how to organize for the future.”
