Wave of Hirings at Washington Examiner

Washington Examiner has added five journalists to its newsroom, announced editorial director, Hugo Gurdon, on Monday morning. The flurry of hirings includes Pete Kasperowicz, David Brown, Barbara Boland, Nicole Duran and Ariel Cohen. "It's great to add several terrific journalists—editors and reporters—to the Washington Examiner newsroom,” said Gurdon in a press release. “Pete Kasperowicz, Dave Brown, and Barbara Boland will give us serious editing firepower and strong experience in congressional and policy news and web-first journalism. Nicole Duran is a highly experienced and respected reporter who will reinforce our White House coverage. And Ariel Cohen is a very talented addition to our team covering the 2016 election cycle. I expect these able and dynamic journalists to make a swift impact, and I welcome them all." Kasperowicz, Brown, and Duran will be joining May 18, while Cohen will be brought on board May 27. Boland officially joined the publication last Wednesday. Below is a excerpt from the press release that includes Washington Examiner's bios of their newest employees.
