Roll Call's Mitchell Announcement

Roll Call, the award-winning Congressional newspaper, today announced that Deputy Editor Charlie Mitchell will become the editor next month when Tim Curran leaves Roll Call for the Washington Post.

Mitchell will lead a strong staff of experienced editors and reporters, including Managing Editor David Meyers and Ben Pershing, who is being elevated to the role vacated by Mitchell. In his new role, Pershing will take on the responsibility for managing the day-to-day coverage of Capitol Hill, while Meyers will expand his role to work with Roll Call Group’s
GalleryWatch.

“These moves position Roll Call to continue to provide market-leading
coverage of Congress,” said Laurie Battaglia, publisher of Roll Call.
