The Washington Post announced Tuesday that its star economics blogger Ezra Klein will be leaving the paper to start a new venture.
"When Ezra joined us in 2009, he was a wunderkind blogger with brash confidence and a burning desire to write a column in the print newspaper," Post editors wrote in a memo to staff. "As he leaves us, Ezra is still a brash wunderkind, but now his burning desire has a grander scope: He is looking to start his own news organization, an ambition that befits someone with uncommon gifts of perception and analysis. Ezra's passion and drive will be missed, but we will take pride in watching him chart out his new venture."
