Brown’s appointment to top editor becomes effective after the November presidential election. She succeeds Susan Glasser, who was named Politico editor in 2014 and served as founding editor of bimonthly Politico Magazine. Glasser, who joined the political news organization from The Washington Post, is moving to Jerusalem, where she will become Politico’s chief foreign affairs columnist. She retains her role as editor until November.

Before helping to launch Politico Europe in 2014, Brown was Politico’s senior White House correspondent. She previously held staff writer positions at the Hartford Courant and the Philadelphia Inquirer before joining Politico in 2007 as a reporter, shortly before its launch. Currently stationed in Brussels, she'll return stateside for the new appointment.

In a statement, Politico editor-in-chief John Harris called Brown “a star reporter turned accomplished editor” who “understands as well as anyone the fluidity of the media business, and the imperative of never standing still.”

The news follows a leadership shake-up that occurred at the political news organization earlier this year, when co-founder and CEO Jim VandeHei announced that he would step down from the company after the election. Chief operating officer Kim Kingsley, chief White House correspondent Mike Allen, chief revenue officer Roy Schwartz and executive vice president Danielle Jones soon followed suit and also announced their resignations.

The press in January cited editorial disagreements with owner and publisher Robert Allbritton over budget and management strategies as reasons for the leadership exodus.
