Corn Leaves The Nation For MoJo

Mother Jones has hired veteran D.C. journalist David Corn to head its recently expanded Washington bureau, which will now have a staff of seven reporters and editors. The longtime Washington editor of The Nation, Corn has also written for the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Harper’s, The New Republic, Slate, Salon, and many other publications.

Obvious question: Who will replace Corn at The Nation? And what does this mean for The Nation’s D.C. footprint?
