Idrees is currently the Washington bureau chief of The Economist, where he leads coverage of national politics. He has ascertained that Idrees was behind some of that magazine's best, most compelling stories.
Idrees started at The Economist right out of college, as a data journalist. While still in school he interned with the editorial boards of The Lexington Herald-Leader and The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Vivian Salama, joining next month from The Wall Street Journal to cover national security and foreign policy; and Tom Bartlett, who began yesterday to cover health and science under the second Trump administration.
Idrees likes to cook in his spare time--though he doesn't have much of that since he recently became a father--and claims he enjoys reading the novels of Thomas Hardy.
