Please try again later. Welcome to the first Post Next 50 list. Our aim is simple — to introduce our readers to a fascinating group of people whom we expect to make an impact this year. To compile the list, we tapped journalists across The Washington Post newsroom to debate what it means to be 'next.' We started with a list of more than 200 names and spent months discussing candidates. We considered how well known they are, how relevant their upcoming projects could be and what their ascents reveal about our society in 2025. In each case, we're looking forward, not backward. Our list isn't an award or honor. Each person on the Post Next 50 was profiled by a reporter or editor with subject matter expertise and an assignment to assess impact. The list aims to reflect a range of viewpoints and highlight people who will be notable and whose work will be significant — locally, statewide or nationally. We welcome your comments as you read our profiles. Who do you think is 'next'? — Matt Murray, executive editor Story continues below advertisement Advertisement
