Kimi Yoshino, founding Baltimore Banner editor-in-chief, joins The Washington Post as Managing Editor
The Washington Post today announced the addition of Kimi Yoshino as Managing Editor overseeing Features, Sports, Local, Investigations and Data.
Yoshino is joining The Post from The Baltimore Banner, where she currently serves as founding editor-in-chief. In the three and a half years of her leadership, The Banner has evolved into the largest newsroom in the state, with paid subscribers in every Maryland county. Earlier this month, The Banner was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for groundbreaking local journalism that exposed Baltimore as the deadliest large city in the nation for drug overdoses.
