Politico has named Jonathan Greenberger as its new editor in chief, succeeding co-founder John Harris who has led the publication since its launch.

Greenberger, currently an executive at the political news organization, will take over leadership of the newsroom from Harris, who helped establish Politico as a major force in political journalism since its founding in 2007.

The leadership transition represents a significant change for the publication, which has become one of the most influential sources of political news and analysis in Washington. Harris has been with the organization since its inception and played a key role in shaping its editorial direction.

The appointment of Greenberger, described as an insider pick, suggests continuity in the publication's editorial approach and operations. Details about the timing of the transition and Greenberger's specific background were not immediately available.

Politico has grown substantially under Harris's leadership, expanding from a startup focused on Capitol Hill coverage to a major media brand with international operations and multiple publications.
