We are excited to announce that Roger Hodge will be the Climate and Environment Department’s Power and Politics Editor.
Roger comes to The Post after spending nine years at The Intercept, most recently as editor-in-chief. Prior to taking on that role in 2022, Roger edited groundbreaking toxics investigations [theintercept.com], including dozens of major stories on PFAS contamination, DuPont, 3M, PFAS-laden firefighting foam, and the presence of extensive PFAS contamination in North Carolina’s Cape Fear River — as well as stories on other toxics such as ethylene oxide [theintercept.com], chloroprene and chlorpyrifos. He led The Intercept’s coverage of the Dakota Access Pipeline controversy, including a probe into a contractor the company hired to target protesters.
In addition to editing ambitious environmental stories, Roger oversaw justice and immigration [theintercept.com] coverage during the first Trump administration. He edited stories about the wrongful conviction of Richard Glossip [theintercept.com], whose case is currently before the Supreme Court. Roger has also edited large national security investigations, including The Drone Papers, based on an extensive cache of internal Pentagon drone warfare documents, and The Iran Cables, which drew on an unprecedented leak of more than 700 pages of internal Iranian intelligence reports.
