Washington Post veteran Don Podesta is taking a buyout. Don, an assistant managing editor for copy desks, told Richard Prince’s journal-isms: “I’ve been working since I was 16 and in newspapers starting in high school, so I’m ready for some time off and then something different.”
He says he wants to “chill for a couple of months then do a little traveling,” before looking for the next job – and not in newspaper journalism.
Don, 58, was born in Chile and spent many childhood years in Colombia before coming to the United States.
