Washington Times On Politico

Ever since Allbritton Communications announced in the fall it was adding a political news startup to its media empire, skeptics have wondered if Washington can support another Capitol Hill publication.

But pose that question to the Politico’s executive editor, Jim VandeHei, and he will say it doesn’t apply.

“I just do not see it that way at all,” said Mr. VandeHei, who left his job as national political correspondent at The Washington Post to help steer the venture.
