Inside Journalism: Meet POLITICO’s Carrie Budoff Brown

Few people are better placed to understand political journalism on both sides of the Atlantic than Carrie Budoff Brown. The award-winning journalist has zigzagged between Washington DC and Brussels multiple times during her 20+-year career.

She joined POLITICO in the United States in its formative years in 2007, before moving to Brussels in 2015 to help launch the brand in Europe as its managing editor. Nearly two years later, she returned to the US as a top editorial leader for almost five years. After an interlude at NBC News, directing all politics and elections coverage and overseeing the iconic *Meet the Press* brand, she was the perfect choice to return to Brussels as POLITICO Europe’s Executive Editor and Executive Vice President.

This conversation will dig into how Carrie Budoff Brown’s reporting background has shaped her stellar career. She will talk about the challenges posed by the shifting media landscape in Brussels where the battle for talent and scoops is fierce. She will also draw on her first-hand experience to share observations and insights on journalism on both sides of the Atlantic at this critical moment in European-American relations.
