The way Marcus Brauchli describes it, his job as executive editor of The Washington Post these days sounds a lot like being on a NASCAR pit crew.
“We’re changing the engine of a car when it’s on the highway,” Brauchli said in a recent interview with Politico. “And we’re changing the tires. And while we’re at it, we’re modifying the trim so it looks better, too.”
But the real challenge for Brauchli — to carry the automotive analogy a little further — may be making sure the wheels don’t come off while he’s busy fixing something else.
— Via Michael Calderone at Politico today. Seriously, I know exactly what Brauchli’s talking about.
