Michael Allen (born June 21, 1964) is an American political journalist. He is the co-founder and executive editor of Axios and the former chief political reporter for Politico. While at Politico, he wrote the daily Playbook; in April 2010, in reference to his frequent correspondence with White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer, The New York Times called him "The Man The White House Wakes Up To."[1] Prior to joining Politico for its 2007 launch, he worked at numerous other publications, including The New York Times and Time.
The New York Times reported that Allen would no longer be writing the Playbook after July 11, 2016. The writing was taken over by Politico staffers Daniel Lippman, Anna Palmer, and Jake Sherman.[2]
