WASHINGTON — David Axelrod’s son is following his father’s career path — that is, the one he had before becoming a political strategist.
Ethan Axelrod is joining the Huffington Post, the liberal website that has been largely supportive of President Barack Obama. His dad, now a senior White House adviser, was a Chicago Tribune reporter until he quit in 1984 to help run a Senate campaign.
“I’ve been interested in journalism for a while,” the 22-year-old Axelrod said Tuesday. “I heard through my father that they were expanding, so I applied for it.”
The younger Axelrod started Monday as editor of the Huffington Post’s new local edition in Denver. The site goes live in September.
