MSNBC Hires Politico’s Sudeep Reddy As Washington Bureau Chief


Reddy will be the first person in the role as the network builds a news operation.

Sudeep Reddy, a veteran of Politico and The Wall Street Journal, will be MSNBC ‘s first Washington, D.C. bureau chief as the network is spun off from parent NBCUniversal and Comcast later this year. In a memo to staffers, Scott Matthews, the senior VP of newsgathering for MSNBC, wrote that Reddy “will lead our Washington team to focus not just on the happenings inside Washington but also on how decisions in the capital will impact people across the nation and around the world.” Matthews wrote that while at Politico, Reddy “launched dozens of new products, including newsletters, podcasts, live events and digital offerings; guided strategy and operations for Politico Playbook during the first Trump administration; and built the newsroom’s first audio team from the ground up.” Reddy will report to Matthews and work with Erin Zimmerman, vice president of newsgathering.
