Joining the ranks are Josef Reyes as FP’s newest Creative Director; Sean D.

These are not separate ideas. Hiring great people is just the one best way we know to ensure we provide our readers with the kind of great coverage they have come to expect from us.”   Josef Reyes has been named FP’s new Creative Director, succeeding Lindsay Ballant, who is leaving to pursue personal creative projects. Reyes is currently Art Director at Wired, based in San Francisco. Previously he was the Deputy Art Director at New York magazine.

He covered military operations as an embedded reporter in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. Sean’s coverage of 2002’s Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan earned him the White House Correspondents Association’s 2003 Edgar A. Poe award for excellence in reporting on an issue of regional or national importance. It also led to a best-selling book, “Not A Good Day To Die – The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda.” In 2012, Sean won the Military Reporters and Editors prize for a six-part series on secret American commando operations in the Horn of Africa. He is also the author of a forthcoming book on Joint Special Operations Command.   Amanda Silverman is FP’s new Story Editor, Print.
