Will Sommer joins The Washington Post as a media reporter

In February, HarperCollins published Will's book on QAnon, “Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America.” In his review, New York Times book critic Dwight Garner called Will “a media obsessive, almost morbidly well informed.”

Before working at the Daily Beast, Will was a campaign editor at the Hill and the Loose Lips city hall columnist for Washington City Paper. Earlier in his career, he wrote DC Porcupine, a blog covering controversies at local D.C. media outlets.

Will graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in international politics. He lives in Capitol Hill with his family and a cat named Hazel.
