Efrain Hernandez Jr. named Washington Post deputy national security editor
Announcement from Nationwide Editor Matea Gold, Deputy Nationwide Editor Philip Rucker and Nationwide Safety Editor Peter Finn:
We’re thrilled to announce that Efrain Hernandez Jr. will be a part of The Washington Put up as a deputy nationwide safety editor.
Efrain involves us from the Los Angeles Occasions, the place he has had a distinguished profession on the Metro, Nationwide and International desks. Efrain, who joined the Occasions in 1994, coated Los Angeles as a basic project reporter with stints specializing in neighborhoods, federal and native courts and Metropolis Corridor earlier than changing into a deputy Metro editor. In 2008, he took a task as an editor on the International desk, and in 2015 he turned an editor on the merged International and Nationwide desks, the place he most just lately has helped handle protection of the conflict in Ukraine.
