Rajiv Chandrasekaran Leaves WaPo for New Seattle Venture

Starbucks and media meet in Seattle.

Longtime Washington Post senior correspondent and associate editor Rajiv Chandrasekaran is headed west to Seattle, where he will launch a media startup. Why Seattle? The venture, according to Chandrasekaran’s Facebook page, will jointly produce some of its content with Starbucks:

My initial focus will be to develop television and film projects tied to For Love of Country: What Our Veterans Can Teach Us About Citizenship, Heroism and Sacrifice, the book I wrote last year with [Starbucks CEO] Howard Schultz. I’m heartbroken to leave The Washington Post but this is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
