We didn’t find one such journalist. We found two.

"The Power Broker" is a big book with a reputation to match. Just having it on your bookshelf is a flex. Earlier this year, our critic Wesley Morris decided to take it off his shelf and actually read it.

We’re delighted to announce that John Woo, an innovative journalist and empathetic manager, is being promoted to executive producer of the Reporter Reads team. Over the past three years, John’s team has reimagined the “reporter reads” — a format of audio journalism that has allowed listeners to engage with a huge swath of our report. These stories are more than read-aloud articles — they’ve brought people inside the work, adding humanity to our journalists and the work they do every day.
