The Washington Examiner on Tuesday will launch a new weekly National Security page as part of the newspaper’s efforts to broaden its coverage of government and politics in the nation’s capital.
The new page will feature columns by four of the leading defense analysts in Washington: Michael O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institution, Thomas Donnelly of the American Enterprise Institute, Kimberly Kagan of the Institute for the Study of War, and P.W. Singer of Brookings.

“We believe this lineup of national security experts is second to none in the news media,” said Stephen G. Smith, editor of The Washington Examiner. “All four are pre-eminent scholars who have been in the field with the military. They have a deep knowledge of world trouble spots, of the challenges facing U.S. forces, and of the intricacies of military doctrine.”
The National Security page is the latest of a series of enhancements to the Examiner in recent months. The paper has added a daily Politics page featuring twice weekly columns by Byron York, formerly of National Review; Michael Barone, formerly of U.S. News & World Report; and Chris Stirewalt, the Examiner’s political editor.
The paper also started a weekly K Street page, anchored by Lobbying Editor Timothy P. Carney, former editor of the Evans-Novak Political Report.
“We aim to be essential reading for policymakers and anyone interested in the business of Washington,” Smith said.
O’Hanlon, a senior fellow in foreign policy at Brookings, is the co-author of four books, most recently “A War Like No Other: The Truth about China’s Challenge to America” (with Richard Bush) and “Hard Power: The New Politics of National Security” (with Kurt Campbell). He writes frequently for Foreign Policy magazine and has published numerous op-eds in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and other papers.
Donnelly, a resident fellow at AEI, is the co-author of “Ground Truth: The Future of U.S. Land Power” (with Robert W. Kagan) and author of “The Military We Need and Operation Iraqi Freedom: A Strategic Assessment.” He previously served as executive editor of the National Interest magazine and editor of Army Times. Donnelly also has written commentary for the Weekly Standard, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal.
Kagan, who is president of ISW, is a military historian. She has taught at West Point, Yale and Georgetown, and is currently an affiliate of the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard. She is the author of “The Eye of Command,” and has published articles in the Weekly Standard and Wall Street Journal.
Singer, director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at Brookings, is author of the newly published “Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century” and “Children at War.” He has written for Foreign Affairs and Jane’s Intelligence Review, as well as the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and other newspapers.
