Biden Taps Another Journalist To Serve As Mouthpiece
Friday, March 18, 2011 at 1:15PMVice President Joe Biden has decided to replace his former communications director, longtime journalist Jay Carney, with……another journalist.
The Vice President announced on Friday that Washington Post reporter Shailagh Murray will succeed Carney, who was named White House press secretary earlier this year.
“Shailagh’s years of experience covering a broad array of issues ranging from domestic policy to foreign affairs make her uniquely positioned to lead our communications team,” Biden said in a statement. “She is as well-respected among her peers as she is versed in the serious issues facing our nation and the world. Her leadership and counsel will be invaluable to me, and to the entire administration.”
Murray, who grew up in Virginia, has covered politics for the Post since 2005. Prior to that, she wrote for the Wall Street Journal.
