The FishbowlDC Interview With WaPo Express's Clinton Yates

Say hello to WaPo Express‘s unassuming Local News Editor Clinton Yates. He writes the snappy new Lunchline feature that highlights stories of the day. The feature began in November. “The idea is to get eyeballs on the Post, Slate, Foreign Policy, The Root, Capital Business, and Express Night Out,” he says. Yate’s favorite writer is easily Christopher Hitchens. “Just a smart guy who isn’t afraid to say what he thinks,” he says. “He’s also not afraid to be wrong, which is something I admire.”
