Cameron Barr to Become WaPo National Security Editor

We are delighted to announce that Cameron Barr will become our new National Security Editor, replacing the recently departed Carlos Lozada.

Cameron and a Deputy National Security Editor, to be named later, will work in tandem to lead a group of distinguished reporters as they uncover what intelligence agencies are learning about potential threats and get inside the Obama administration debates over diplomatic and military policy. We expect Cameron to promote collaboration across the staff to maximize the depth, breadth and impact of the Post’s national security coverage.
