WaPo Video Journalist Leaves Newspaper for Harvard Business School
Akira Hakuta is leaving WaPo to attend Harvard Business School in the fall. The editors are “disappointed” to see him go, but wish him well in his new “great opportunity.”
An excerpt from the extremely long internal memo:
“Some of Akira’s most memorable and creative work includes his pioneering ideas on recurring shows such as Dana Milbank’s popular ‘Washington Sketch’ series, TV Dinners with Tom Sietsema and most recently Fast Fix with Chris Cillizza. You may remember the humorous ‘Eastern Media Elite’ video from the Republican National Convention in 2008 or the headless food videos where Akira had to creatively protect Tom’s identity each week.”
