CONFIRMED: Steve Coll To New Yorker

stevecollny.jpgThe Washington Post newsroom is atwitter this afternoon with confirmation of last week’s rumors that Steve Coll, former managing editor, is heading to the New Yorker. Evidently, Coll broke the news to Executive Editor Len Downie today.

Coll is a two-decade veteran of the Post, and his book “Ghost Wars” cleaned up just about every journalism prize out there this year, including a Pulitzer.

As Harry Jaffe related last week, the New Yorker plans to open new offices in downtown DC in September. Coll would join Jeffrey Goldberg, who writes the Letter from Washington, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, Margaret Talbot, Jane Mayer, and Elsa Walsh in the magazine’s Washington bureau.
