MacGillis Becomes New Political Staff Writer At W. Post

We’re delighted to announce that Alec MacGillis will be joining the
political staff, bringing his inquiring mind and skill at enterprise
reporting to our coverage of the 2008 campaign.

Alec joined the Fairfax bureau a year ago, professing to know nothing about the suburbs or development. He quickly established himself as a sophisticated and edgy chronicler of Tysons Corner and its future, driving a story of huge importance to our readers. His analytic and reporting skills, not to mention his familiarity with cut-and-cover tunneling techniques, will be welcome additions to our staff.
