Federal Insider columnist says farewell after 17 years
This is my final column for The Washington Post.
I'm leaving because of a policy restricting the level of opinion and commentary in news section articles. While the policy can be justified journalistically, its rigorous enforcement represents a significant reduction in the latitude I've enjoyed since I began writing the Federal Diary, now the Federal Insider, in 2008, three years after I joined The Post.
