TIME Snags WaPo's Karl Vick

From: Rick Stengel
To: All TIME Edit Staff

We’re delighted to announce that Karl Vick is our new Jerusalem bureau chief. A gifted writer and reporter, Karl joins us from The Washington Post, where from 1998 to 2007 he covered most every major global conflict — and many minor ones, too. He was based first in Nairobi, then Istanbul, with extended stays in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iran and Iraq, where he ran the Baghdad bureau right next door to TIME’s own during a period of some of the most violent insurgent activity.
