Newsweek’s Obama Correspondent Joins Administration
by

Daren Briscoe, a Newsweek correspondent who was embedded with Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, has taken a job with the Obama administration, according to an email sent to a listserv of his classmates at the Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

The email, written by Time reporter and fellow Columbia grad Jay Newton-Small, said Briscoe would be serving as deputy associate director of public affairs for the Office of National Drug Control Policy as of Monday.

“Despite his multiple basketball games with our commander-in-chief, he always brought a skeptical eye to his work and in conversations about the candidate,” Newton-Small wrote the email.

Briscoe’s campaign reporting helped provide the basis for Newsweek‘s book on the campaign, A Long Time Coming.

I received the email because Briscoe graduated Columbia’s journalism school in 2001, the same year as I did.
