The Huffington Post Scoops Up Three Former TNR Journos

The Huffington Post just scooped up two former executive editors and an award-winning reporter from the sinking ship that is The New Republic.

Rachel Morris and Greg Veis, former TNR editors, and reporter Jonathan Cohn will assist The Huffington Post in expanding its focus on long-form and investigative journalism, Arianna Huffington said in a staff memo obtained by FishbowlDC.

“Rachel and Greg are the kind of editors every reporter dreams of writing for,” Huffington wrote, adding “there’s more good news: we’ll also be joined by Jonathan Cohn, one of the country’s most respected reporters, and a former colleague of Rachel and Greg’s at The New Republic.”

The three former TNR staffers were part of a massive wave of journalists who left the magazine at the end of the year as a result of disagreements with TNR‘s new leadership.
