**The Washington Post announced that award-winning journalist Peter Spiegel joined The Post as managing editor.** Spiegel will oversee The Post’s National and Local newsroom departments, including its coverage of national politics, the federal government, national security, the judiciary, immigration, race, health and science.

According to a release, Spiegel joins The Post from The Financial Times (FT), where he most recently served as U.S. managing editor, overseeing its editorial operations in the U.S. and the Americas over the past nearly six years. His leadership included helming the FT’s U.S. expansion strategy and coverage as well as its daily news operation both in print and online. During his tenure, the publication won six Gerald Loeb Awards and 13 British Press Awards, including News Website of the Year in 2017 and Newspaper of the Year in 2018\. Spiegel also served as the head of the FT’s London newsroom and its Brussels bureau chief.
