The Washington Post named Jason Anders as managing editor of its news hub, a newly created role. 

Anders will be tasked with building and leading the Post’s central news desk. He will head a team responsible for the daily news agenda, including publishing content for the Post’s website and app.

Previously, Anders worked at The Wall Street Journal for 25 years, most recently as deputy editor in chief. 

“Jason is deeply familiar with the opportunities and challenges we face as we reorient our workflows and publishing schedule, sharpen our digital interface and build out the news desk,” says Matt Murray, executive editor of the Post, to whom Anders will report. “His keen understanding of how product and news intersect, paired with his pulse on changing technology in user experience, will be of tremendous value in our next chapter.” 

Announced in March, the revamped news hub follows the creation of three departments: futures, national and politics and government.
