Glen Johnson, politics editor at the Boston Globe, is joining the staff of freshly minted Secretary of State John Kerry.
The 50-year-old Massachusetts native is to concentrate on strategic communications for the former senator from the Bay State.
Kerry told the Globe that he hired Johnson because he’s not a partisan. “He just cares about the quality of our dialogue and he cares about our country and he’ll contribute to both of them,” said Kerry.
Johnson became political editor in Jan. 2011. He finished his second stint the Associated Press before rejoining the Globe, where he worked from 2000 to 2005.
He began his newspaper career as a stringer in 1985 at the The Lowell Sun. |
