Wonkblog
Defunct public policy blog From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wonkblog was a blog, hosted by The Washington Post,[2] that was dedicated to domestic policy, economics and politics.[3][4] It was started by Ezra Klein, originally as a solo venture, but, by February 2013, had grown to employ a staff of five people. The Post originally rebuffed his attempts to persuade them to support Wonkblog.[5]

On January 21, 2014, it was announced that Klein would leave Wonkblog, along with two of his colleagues: Melissa Bell and Dylan Matthews.[5] In 2014, Wonkblog hired Matt O'Brien as its lead economic policy writer.[2] Other core writers included Christopher Ingraham and Carolyn Y. Johnson. Wonkblog also featured regular academic contributors including Daniel Drezner and Keith Humphreys. As of February 21, 2017,[6] Wonkblog was edited by Patrick Reis. In 2019, the Post ceased to host Wonkblog and began redirecting traffic to its Economic Policy section instead.
