My old employer hired my old boss today as its new editor. Terry Jeffrey, who hired me as assistant editor of Human Events in 2004, will become the new editor of Cybercast News Service, the place where I got my start as a Washington reporter in 2002.

I have the utmost respect for Terry and the work he did at Human Events. He was a great boss and a wonderful leader. I’ve been fortunate to work closely with him since leaving Human Events in January. Terry serves on the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Media & Public Policy advisory board, offering me advice and guidance.

Here’s the press release from Cybercast News Service:

CNSNews.com proudly welcomes as its new editor-in-chief Terence Jeffrey, a man Media Research Center President and Founder Brent Bozell calls a professional “of keen insight and extraordinary vision” whose experience, talent, and drive can help “turn the Cybercast News Service from a winning team into a dynasty.”

Jeffrey comes to CNSNews.com after more than a decade as editor of Human Events, the nation’s oldest conservative publication. During his tenure there, Human Events featured hard-hitting investigative reports on many issues important to CNSNews.com readers, such as national security, corruption, government waste and politics.

Jeffrey got his start in professional journalism with The Washington Times, where he was hired as a full-time editorial writer by then-Editorial Page Editor Tony Snow. There, his investigative editorials on House Speaker Jim Wright earned Jeffrey a Pulitzer Prize nomination.

Jeffrey’s impressive hands-on credentials in the political realm include work on two presidential campaigns of Patrick Buchanan. As campaign manager for Buchanan’s second presidential run in 1995, Jeffrey helped devise and execute the strategies that led Buchanan to victories in the Alaska, Louisiana, and Missouri caucuses, as well as to an underdog victory in the New Hampshire primary.

Terry replaces David Thibault, who passed away in July after a battle with cancer. It would be difficult for anyone to replace David, but Terry brings to Cybercast News Service the background in journalism and enthusiasm for investigative reporting that’s desperately needed on the right.
