Editorials represent the views of The Washington Post as an institution, as determined through debate among members of the editorial board. The board includes: Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt; Deputy Editorial Page Editor Jackson Diehl; Deputy Editorial Page Editor Ruth Marcus; Associate Editorial Page Editor Jo-Ann Armao, who specializes in education and District affairs; Jonathan Capehart, who focuses on national politics; Lee Hockstader, who writes about immigration, and political and other issues affecting Virginia and Maryland; Charles Lane, who concentrates on economic policy, trade and globalization; Stephen Stromberg, who specializes in energy, the environment, public health and other federal policy; David Hoffman, who writes about foreign affairs and press freedom; Molly Roberts, who focuses on technology and society; Emefa Agawu, who writes about social policy and other issues, with a focus on developments in state capitals and cities around the U.S.; and editorial cartoonist Tom Toles. Op-ed editors Michael Larabee, Robert Gebelhoff, Mark Lasswell and Alyssa Rosenberg; letters and local opinions editor Jamie Riley; international opinions editors Elias Lopez, Karen Attiah and Christian Caryl and Mili Mitra; international opinions writer Jason Rezaian; digital opinions editor James Downie; operations editor Becca Clemons; and editor and writer Christine Emba also take part in board discussions.
The board highlights issues it thinks are important and responds to news events, mindful of stands it has taken in previous editorials and principles that have animated Post editorial boards over time. Articles in the news pages sometimes prompt ideas for editorials, but every editorial is based on original reporting. News reporters and editors never contribute to editorial board discussions, and editorial board members don’t have any role in news coverage.
