[font size=5]Joan Walsh Leaves Salon For The Nation Magazine
After 17 years at the pioneering liberal website, she joins the country's oldest weekly magazine.[/font]

.... “We’re heading into a crucial election in which the identities of both political parties are wildly unsettled,” said the magazine’s editor and publisher, Katrina vanden Heuvel, in a statement. “In this moment, I can’t think of anyone better to bring history to bear on this moment and cut through the spin than Joan Walsh.”

Walsh will write several times weekly for The Nation’s website, in addition to contributing to the print magazine. She begins on Oct. 5 and is based in New York City.

“[Walsh] brings a deep knowledge of American political history and a passion for writing about elections, social movements, race, gender, class, media and many other subjects,” Nation Executive Editor Richard Kim said in a note to staff obtained by The Huffington Post.

Walsh hinted at her long tenure at the pioneering liberal website in a statement.

“I’ve loved my time at Salon, but now, as we face the Donald Trump farce and mull the meaning of Bernie Sanders’s surge, I’m thrilled to have the ballast of a magazine that’s spent 150 years chronicling American history, to help me take the long view,” Walsh said.

1. Interesting

She seems a bit too moderate for the Nation.

2. Katrina is nothing if not open-minded

Hell, even I've had stuff published in The Nation, and I'm no John Nichols.
