THE PASSING OF THE BATON: A NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

It’s the tail end of the change of command season. Beloved (or not so beloved) commanders are moving on to new opportunities. New faces are taking over, watching, assessing, trying to get a feel for the team and the mission. WAR ROOM isn’t a full fledged military organization (think military adjacent) but the time has come for our “change of command.” Jacqueline Whitt, our outgoing Editor-In-Chief, is moving on to new and exciting opportunities with the U.S. Department of State and we’re taking a moment to hear her final thoughts on her time with WAR ROOM. She’s joined in the studio by her successor J.P Clark, a familiar face, longtime friend and former member of the editorial team. Podcast editor Ron Granieri moderates the conversation that renews the purpose of WAR ROOM, examines what the team has been able to accomplish over the last five years and what the future holds. Join us in saying farewell to Jackie and wishing her all the best in her future endeavors and welcoming J.P. as he shares his thoughts for moving forward without missing a beat.

And take a read of Jackie’s farewell letter we posted yesterday.
