Post Watch: Still Here! Eleven Writers You Don’t Want to Miss
By
Harry Jaffe
A good newspaper is a collection of great bylines. After more than 100 staffers took the Post’s recent buyout offer, here are 11 bylines we still want to read every day: Walter Pincus: He combs documents to unearth government secrets. Mike Wilbon: Without fear or favor, he writes a pair of sports columns a week. Robin Givhan: She uses fashion to undress the rich and powerful. Dana Milbank: His Washington Sketch is great reading for those in need of a wry look at what passes for serious news. Dana Priest: She’s a Pulitzer Prize winner bound to ferret out more blunders. Carolyn Hax: Created by the Post, she spins a pungent and wise advice column. Marc Fisher: Still the Post’s best Metro columnist, he finds the funny and the maddening.
J. Freedom du Lac: Style’s pop-music critic grazes from Keith Richards to Patti Smith with indie rockers in the mix. Paul Schwartzman: City-desk reporter veers off the political beat to highlight changes others can’t see. Emily Wax and Ellen Knickmeyer: two foreign correspondents who never fail to find good stories in far corners of the world. Related:

You need to add that whole obituary staff at the Post-- they consistently find fascinating stories out of the dregs.

It’s a fine list and I especially agree that Milbank is a must-read. If it were my list, William Booth would be right near the top. So would David Segal.

I think Michelle Singletary should be added to that list also. The Color of Money gives great advice and is also humerous at times.
