What I cover
As Editor-in-Chief of LAist, I lead a nonprofit newsroom of reporters who share the goal of centering coverage of Southern California around what you tell us you need to know to fully participate in — and to enjoy — life in Southern California.
My background
At LAist, I've managed a significant transformation in our coverage and strategy, which has been reflected in large gains in audiences. Before that, at the L.A. Times I played a key role in pushing the newsroom into digital storytelling. I'm known for working hard to establish and foster a creative environment. I'm proud of my track record of supporting talented, versatile journalists whose work stands out in a crowded media field.
My goals
For LAist to persevere and thrive, our journalism must be original, distinctive, meaningful and, importantly, helpful in ways that moves our audiences to support the work with donations and by spreading the word.
