The Cox Newspapers Washington Bureau was founded in 1974. Since then, it has grown to roughly 30 staffers who serve the 17 daily Cox newspapers from Washington, domestic bureaus in New York and on the West Coast, as well as foreign bureaus in Baghdad, Beijing, London, Mexico City, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Bureau chief Andy Alexander reports to Jay Smith, president of Cox Newspapers.

The mission of the bureau is simple: We help the Cox newspapers serve their readers. We do that by providing news coverage that our papers, individually or collectively, want.

Over the years, Cox Newspapers correspondents have won or shared in virtually every major American journalism award, including the Pulitzer Prize. The staff currently includes three Pulitzer winners. Stories written by Cox correspondents are distributed via The New York Times News service to roughly 650 additional newspapers worldwide with a combined daily circulation of about 35 million.
