All right all you big-time editors (looking at you, Ryan Grim, Susan Glasser, Jon Allen, Rachael Smolkin, Gabriel Snyder, Karey Van Hall, and Rachel Van Dongen) – we’re helping you find the next generation of talent. We reached out to our sources and compiled a list of 5 political reporters to watch.
Juana Summers, NPR

She dominated the defense coverage beat at Politico. She moved to NPR and owns the political beat with her unique stories.
Dana Liebelson, Huffington Post

Dana has to be among the most deceptively tenacious journalists in Washington. AND she is in a punk band that is actually very good.
Alicia Amling, CBS News, Producer

Hey, she doesn’t read our emails but that didn’t stop us from adding her to the list. Numerous sources confirmed that you can’t out hustle Alicia. She will be a key player behind the scenes as 2016 coverage heats up.
Lauren French, Politico

French is leading the Politico homepage almost more than Hillary these days. Key part of Politico’s Congress team.
Megan Wilson, The Hill

Megan is developing quite a Rolodex on K Street and her lobbying coverage drives beltway conversations.
