Post's Blaine Harden to Tokyo

We’re pleased to announce that Blaine Harden has agreed to take a leap from one side of the Pacific to the other to become our Tokyo bureau chief. He succeeds Anthony Faiola, who returned recently to become the New York correspondent.

Blaine’s elegant writing has graced our pages for nearly three decades. By his own tally, he has worked as a Fairfax County reporter, Virginia rover, staff writer at the magazine, DC staff reporter, Africa correspondent, Eastern European correspondent, investigative reporter, presidential political reporter, New York bureau chief and national reporter covering the West from Seattle.

But this list does not even begin to tell the full story of his journalism, some of the most compelling story-telling of our time.
