Fills four editorial positions

Following last month's staff exodus, The New Republic has begun to fill some of its vacant editorial positions. Today, the magazine's recently appointed editor in chief, Gabriel Snyder, announced in a staff memo that TNR had made four new hires.

Jamil Smith will join TNR Jan. 26 as a senior editor. He previously worked at MSNBC as a producer for The Rachel Maddow Show and as a segment and digital producer for Melissa Harris-Perry. At TNR, Smith's coverage will include race, politics and gender.
