The Washington Post has named Liz Seymour, who most recently served as its deputy managing editor, as a managing editor. 

Seymour joins the current roster of managing editors: Matea Gold, Krissah Thompson and Scott Vance.

Prior to joining the Post 25 years ago, Seymour reported for Los Angeles Times, Detroit Sunday Journal, The Detroit News and The Register Citizen. 

“No one is a fiercer advocate for Post journalism than Liz,” says Matt Murray, executive editor, to whom Seymour will report, in a note to the newsroom. “We all know Liz as a steady, compassionate, tough, thoughtful, and experienced leader, who, at any given moment, seamlessly and coolly balances at least 20 different crises and situations, many of which are never visible to most of us but all of which call for sensitivity, care, high standards and her blend of judgment, firmness, and compassion.”
