MSNBC’s The Sunday Show host Jonathan Capehart has been named associate editor at The Washington Post.
Since 2007, Capehart has been at The Post, serving on the editorial board and his weekly column examining the crossing of social, cultural, and political issues.
“Over the past 15 years, Jonathan has built a loyal following that extends the pages of Post Opinions with ventures into podcasting, hosting Washington Post Live programs and anchoring his own national news show,” said Fred Ryan, publisher and CEO of The Post.
“Jonathan’s approach to dissecting the news in meaningful and conversational ways has made him an esteemed figure at The Post and in the media industry. We are thrilled to have him take on a greater leadership role.”
Capehart has several roles, along with working at The Post and MSNBC. He’s also a political analyst on “PBS NewsHour,” a host of a weekly Opinions podcast, “Capehart,” and the weekly Washington Post Live show “First Look,” which streams on Peacock.
Before his current positions, Capehart was deputy editorial page editor of the New York Daily News and served on that paper’s editorial board from 1993 to 2000. Then, he left his position to become the national affairs columnist at Bloomberg News.
Afterward, Capehart was a policy adviser to Michael Bloomberg in his first successful New York City mayoral campaign.
