#MEDIAMOVES thanks to @StoryPartners Congrats to @dlippman who joins @mikeallen and @Politico playbook. @usatoday snags @StevePetrow as the paper’s first-ever digital etiquette columnist. Ironically, his column will run in print (as well as online). The @washingtonpost hires @KerryLauerman as its new Senior Editor for Mobile Initiative, hiring him away from Salon.com. At @nationaljournal a 50% increase in readership resulted in six new hires including political reporter @emilyrs, bilingual reporter @AlexiaCampbell, @rachel_jenn, @alexlaughs and @zachary_cohen as web producers and @NCaplanBricker. @CNN plans to double its digital coverage for the 2016 presidential election and @PoliticoPro added its 13th vertical this week, eHealth, focusing on digital health and related policy challenges. This comes a month after adding a Cybersecurity vertical to its offerings.
