Early life

Her parents are the founders of a weekly legal newspaper, Legal Times, and a legal and business publishing company, Glasser Legal Works.

Glasser interned, and later worked for eight years, at Roll Call. In 1998, Glasser started at The Washington Post, where she spent a decade. She edited the Post's Sunday Outlook and national news sections, helped oversee coverage of Bill Clinton's impeachment, covered the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan, and served as Moscow bureau co-chief with her husband, Peter Baker.
