Hannah Good to edit comics pages & Daily Cartoonist adds to WaPo buyout news

Michael Cavna tells me that Hannah Good is staying at the Post and will be taking over David Betancourt's comics page editing duties. She's been good for the WaPo's cartoon journalism this past year, so I'm very glad she's staying.

Here's her Post page info:

Hannah Good

Washington, D.C.

Education: Western Kentucky University, BA in English

Hannah Good is a Designer curating comics journalism and illustrated reporting with teams around the newsroom. She's also an illustrator and comic artist who has worked with HarperCollins Publishers, Apple TV+, Barnes and Noble and the BLINK art festival. Previously, she was an Opportunity Fellow on the Next Generation Audience Development team focused on comics and a social producer and comics editor for The Lily. Before joining The Post, she was a social media producer at Washingtonian Magazine. She's a proud graduate of Western Kentucky University, where she was editor-in-chief of the Talisman magazine.

In the meantime, DD Degg has dug deeper into the WaPo's latest "shrinking to greatness" moment so I don't have to.

But for the record, of the Style and Metro staff, my current tally of departures is: Cavna, Betancourt, exhibit reviewer Marc Fisher, media reporter Paul Farhi, theater critic Peter Marks and Metro's John Kelly and Courtland Milloy. Editors Jeff Leen, Sydney Trent and Lynda Robinson are going. Hank Stuever is staying as an editor for Style. As I've noted to a few people, owner Jeff Bezos could literally pay everyone in America to write for the paper without really noticing.
 
Updated: My friend Lisa's colleague Ann Maloney is also leaving the Food section.

Good news from WaPo on cartoon journalism! Or illustrated reporting!

Hannah Good tells me that they now have a centralized site for what they're calling "illustrated reporting" - yet another term for a nascent field.*


Congratulations to her for getting this landing page started (although it's definitely incomplete and lacking a lot of the scores of strips done for the former Lily website). On the other hand, there's stories I haven't seen and linked to** and I'm literally their target audience for these, as a reader, subscriber, and advertising subject. Perhaps it's time to bring back the Comic Riffs newsletter? In any event, the existence of the site is good news and I'll be adding a link to it on the blog.

This week's former Lily webcomic is:

More than 'just a look': The long history of staring in the disability community; I wanted to examine this precedent to reflect on the implications of staring in our day-to-day lives
 

*There's just been a long discussion on an academic comics list about what term to submit to the Library of Congress genre list, but this one wasn't on it.

**and for the record, here's the other stories that I missed pointing out here, including one by my friend Ellen Lindner, and SPX favorites Gemma Correll and Hartley Lin. Both women (Lin is a man) have done other pieces for the WaPo Lily site that should be searchable via this blog.

The Koh-i-Noor diamond has adorned the crowns of previous queen consorts, but it will not be on Queen Camilla's.

The Post published 54 comics journalism strips not labelled as such in 2022

...and note that the cartoonists are listed as 'illustrators' and the heading is 'Perspective' not comics.  I've missed almost all of these even though I'm a print and digital subscriber.
