Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, is taking over as moderator of PBS’s long-running Washington Week.
The show, a Friday night roundtable of reporters, also will be rebranded as Washington Week with The Atlantic, as Weta and PBS NewsHour partner with the publication on the show.
Goldberg, who starts in his new role on Aug. 11, has been editor in chief of The Atlantic since 2016.
Goldberg succeeds Yamiche Alcindor, who stepped down earlier this year to finish her memoir.
He will be the 10th moderator of the 56-year-old show. One of the longest was Gwen Ifill, who served in that position from 1999 until her death in 2016. In a statement Goldberg paid tribute to Ifill. Gwen built this show into an institution, continued by Robert [Costa] and by Yamiche, and I’m honored to carry on this tradition as The Atlantic embarks on this partnership,” he said.

“Washington Week,” one of the nation’s most durable weekly news panel programs, is getting a new moderator, and, at the same time, a little financial aid.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of “The Atlantic,” a media outlet devoted to analysis and long-form journalism, will become the PBS program’s new on-air leader, while “The Atlantic” will join the public broadcaster as a producer of the program. Goldberg’s tenure is slate to kick off August 11.
The show has been without a permanent moderator since Yamiche Alcindor exited the role in February of this year. Over the years, journalists including Gwen Ifill, Robert Costa, Ken Bode and Robert MacNeill have led the program.
“With this partnership, ‘Washington Week’ will remain the premier destination for viewers in search of astute analysis of the most important political and policy issues facing our nation. We are especially pleased to welcome Jeffery Goldberg as moderator,...

TV news can help a dozen soundbites from politicians go viral on any day. One recent social-media uproar stirred by CBS News came not from flagship programs like “CBS Mornings” or “CBS Evening News,” but from “Red & Blue,” a program available only through streaming.
On a recent Wednesday, CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns nabbed an interview with Senator Tim Scott, the Republican presidential hopeful, and made sure to ask him his stance on federal limits on when women might be able to terminate a pregnancy. Scott gave all kinds of answers, but none of them directly answered her questions. The exchange made news — even though it debuted first in a place where, in another era, it might have gotten lost.
Correspondents would like to do more of these kinds of interviews, says Huey-Burns. “He hadn’t defended a position before, so we saw that as an opportunity. Once people...
