Breaking: Politico executive editor Dafna Linzer will leave the publication this month.
Politico executive editor Dafna Linzer will leave the publication this month, editor-in-chief Matt Kaminski told staffers in an email Thursday. He writes that he and Linzer “have always been aligned on the goal of making POLITICO the world’s premier source of news on politics, policy, and power” but that the pair “saw ourselves diverging over the best way to get there” and began to discuss her departure in December.
The strategy has highlighted the need for our publication to evolve and meet the moment – in the ways that we do things, and in our structures. We have always been aligned on the goal of making POLITICO the world’s premier source of news on politics, policy, and power. But we saw ourselves diverging over the best way to get there. Dafna and I first began discussing the possibility of this move last December.

We have all gotten to know her as a talented journalist who advocates passionately for her ideas and especially for her people.
