John Solomon to Leave NewsBeast

Editor to devote himself to startup

John Solomon, the muckraking journalist for Newsweek and The Daily Beast who secured an exclusive interview with the DSK maid, is leaving the company.

Solomon was a big get for NewsBeast editor Tina Brown, who hired him in May 2011 from the Center for Public Integrity, where he was executive editor. He previously was executive editor at the Washington Times and, before that, a reporter for The Washington Post and the Associated Press.

At NewsBeast, where Solomon was editor of news and investigations, he also investigated the Tea Party and police spending of anti-terrorism funds.
