Politico has hired former Washington Post employee Jim Brady to launch a local news site in Washington, D.C. Writing at Slate, Jack Shafer offered him some advice on October 29, 2009:

"Who doesn't adore Jim Brady, the former executive editor of the Washingtonpost.com? Even I like him, and I don't like anybody. He's proved himself as a reporter, a manager, and an executive, and unlike most people in the business, he's not especially full of himself. And if I'm wrong and Brady really is full of himself, he doesn't let on.

That Politico owner Robert Allbritton of Allbritton Communications has hired Brady to lead a new local Washington, D.C., news site indicates a willingness to go head-to-head in competition with the Washington Post. Allbritton already competes with the Post for political news with Politico, whose founding editors also came from the Washington Post Co. By adding a native-to-the-Web news organization to this portfolio that includes Politico, a local ABC affiliate (WJLA-TV), and a 24-hour cable station (News Channel 8), Allbritton will have surrounded the Post on four sides."

Politico is hypocritico when it comes to the wall between reporting and money, Harper's magazine reported on July 14, 2009:

"Politico recently caused a stir with its excellent story about the Washington Post’s attempt to raise money with “salons” at the home of its publisher. But Politico itself is hardly virginal when it comes to the wall between reporting and chasing revenue.

Last August, it co-sponsored a party at the Democratic National Convention with the Glover Park Group, a top Washington lobbying and consulting firm."

The very smart and acerbic Michael Wolff raves about Politico in the August 2009 issue of Vanity Fair:

"Four old-media veterans may have solved the future of news with the Politico Web site, whose audience of six million obsessives and insiders consumes–and feeds–a real-time download of power data. The twist? Politico’s print version is what’s helped make it profitable."
