Alex Burns Leaving POLITICO

Senior political reporter for POLITICO, Alex Burns, is leaving the news outlet, according to Michael Calderone of Huffington Post Media.

Calderone claims that Burns had “recently been in talks with The New York Times about a New York-based position covering city and state politics.”

Burns, one of POLITICO’s best known and longest tenured reporters, has been with the organization since graduating from Harvard in 2008.
