ARLINGTON, Va
– POLITICO today announced a new Playbook team that will helm the indispensable, but
unofficial, guide to official Washington. On January 19, Rachael Bade, Eugene Daniels, Ryan Lizza and Tara Palmeri take the reins of POLITICO Playbook to set the agenda for the political day and days ahead; break news and make sense of it; and provide a steady dose of insider nuggets and intrigue for and about the power players in Washington.

Rachael Bade, Ryan Lizza, Tara Palmeri, and Eugene Daniels will be the new authors of Politico’s Playbook newsletter, the Rosslyn-based news organization announced Friday. The new team will be supported by Eli Okun and Garrett Ross, who’ve written the afternoon edition of Playbook for some time now, as well as producer Alice Bice. Mike Zapler will edit.
Lizza and Daniels are already Politico staffers. Bade will rejoin Politico from the
Washington Post, and Palmeri rejoins from ABC News. They’ll replace Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer, who left Politico to start their own newsletter business, Punchbowl News.
