Politico’s John Harris Moves Into Chairman Role, Search Begins for New Editor in Chief

Politico Global Editor-in-Chief John Harris told staff on Thursday that he would move into a new role as chairman at the company and begin a search for a new editor in chief.

Harris will continue in his editor-in-chief role until the company names his successor “at some point in 2026.” The announcement comes days after Politico laid off 3% of its staff and offered buyouts to several newsroom divisions.

A spokesperson for Politico did not respond to an immediate request for comment.
