Statement from Executive Editor Matt Murray:

“For three decades, Ellen Nakashima has been one of the most careful, fair-minded, and highly regarded reporters covering national security. Reaching out to potential sources rather than relying solely on official government press statements regarding matters of public interest is neither nefarious nor is it harassment. It is basic journalism. DNI Gabbard’s unfounded personal attack reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about the role of journalists to report on government officials and hold power to account, without fear or favor and regardless of party. The Post remains committed to that vital and constitutionally protected work.”

Happy New Year! This is me doing that "my most notable stories of the past year" thing journalists sometimes do, by category. Wish it was a nice even number, but it ain't. I think 17? I'm bad at math, which is why I'm a reporter. Thread:
