Kristin Roberts Named Regional Editor of Mcclatchy's East Kristin Roberts Named Regional Editor of McClatchy’s East Region SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 27 2018 -- McClatchy (NYSE American: MNI) today named Kristin Roberts Regional Editor of the company’s East region. Roberts, currently Executive Editor of McClatchy’s Washington Bureau, will oversee nine newsrooms. She will begin her new role immediately. “We are delighted to promote a dynamic and passionate McClatchy editor with a proven track record of innovation and digital transformation,” said Tim Grieve, Vice President, News. “Since joining McClatchy little over a year ago, Kristin transformed our Washington bureau into a high-impact, news-breaking and news-making operation -- and one that works better than ever before with the 29 other newsrooms that make up McClatchy.” In January, the company announced a new regional structure for news as part of its program of newsroom reinvention. It named Robyn Tomlin Regional Editor of the Carolinas and Lauren Gustus Regional Editor of California and Idaho. The regional editors are charged with accelerating digital growth and ensuring their newsrooms deliver what readers need in a fast-changing news environment. “Our new regional structure for news, coupled with these strong and committed editors, will drive our progress towards becoming a digital-DNA news media business essential in our communities and with our customers,” said Craig Forman, President & CEO, McClatchy. The McClatchy newsrooms in the East region will each also continue to have its own strong leader, focused on producing independent journalism in the public interest that informs and strengthens the local community. “We’re excited to work with Kristin to collaborate and leverage McClatchy's strength in local and investigative journalism across the East Region”,” said Alexandra Villoch, President & Publisher Miami Herald and East Region Publisher. As the Regional Editor for the East, Roberts will continue to oversee the Washington Bureau while extending her transformative approach to the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and Bradenton Herald in Florida; the Macon Telegraph and Columbus Ledger-Enquirer in Georgia; the Biloxi Sun Herald in Mississippi; the Lexington Herald-Leader in Kentucky; and the Centre Daily Times in State College, Pennsylvania. “I’m excited for this chance to partner with strong editors and reporters throughout the East who are producing great journalism everyday,” said Kristin Roberts. “This is an opportunity to see what we can do when we work together to serve our readers in new and creative ways.” Roberts joined McClatchy a year ago to become Executive Editor of McClatchy Washington. Before that, she was National Editor at POLITICO, where she guided all coverage of the 2016 presidential race. Prior to POLITICO, Roberts was Managing Editor of National Journal. Roberts, who speaks Spanish, began her career at Reuters, where she spent 13 years reporting on finance and economics in Mexico City, San Juan, Miami, and New York, and defense and security policy in Washington and multiple war zones. She will move back to Miami later this year. Roberts holds master's degrees from Georgetown University and Columbia University, and a bachelor's degree from The George Washington University. # # # About McClatchy McClatchy operates 30 media companies in 14 states, providing each of its communities with high-quality news and advertising services in a wide array of digital and print formats.

This case study analyzes the practices WLOX and the Sun Herald used to cover the hurricane and to explore which practices could be implemented in other newsrooms in the future.

  • Knight News Challenge Casting the Net Wide for Innovation a Quest for Fresh Ideas and a Dose of Humility Drive the Knight News Challenge by CHRISTOPHER CONNELL
    Knight News Challenge Casting the Net Wide for Innovation A quest for fresh ideas and a dose of humility drive the Knight News Challenge BY CHRISTOPHER CONNELL THE KNIGHT NEWS CHALLENGE reviewers, meeting at the foundation’s headquarters in a Miami skyscraper overlooking Biscayne Bay, were divided over one intriguing entry. A 25-year-old freelance tech reporter and blogger wanted to pioneer a new, public subscription model for investigative journalism. David Cohn wanted to launch a website in San Francisco where reporters could pitch ideas for stories and invite the public to contribute small amounts, on the order of $10 to $50, to underwrite the investigations. The public – the crowd – would decide which stories to go after. When enough money came in – as little as a few hundred – as much as several thousand dollars, the reporter would go out and do the job. Spot.Us, as Cohn dubbed his brainchild, would publish the results on its website, but also look for other media outlets for the work. It wasn’t that people didn’t think it was a good idea. But there That the lean, scruffy Cohn could go from graduate were a lot of questions and much student at the Columbia School of Journalism to media discussion about special interests innovator capable of placing stories in The New York Times seemed, at the time, a pipedream. But this was and the co-opting of the process: if a new digital age, with mainstream newsroom you paid for a story, did you expect staffs and budgets in freefall and millions of people, certain kinds of outcomes? young and old, getting their news online.

  • The Road to Frustration
    T he road to frustration. In Missouri, where highways are among the worst in the nation, drivers are paying with their lives. Journalists at The Kansas City Star turned the spotlight on a sovereign highway department with a troubling history of waste and mismanagement. Nearly half of U.S. roads are rated good or very good. In Missouri, that number drops to 15 percent. Driving on that state’s under-funded, poorly maintained highways is a tooth-rattling, bone- jarring experience. And motorists are paying the price with costly repair bills and an alarming number of accident-related fatalities. In a detailed, scientific study, Kansas City Star journalists examined more than 3,800 miles of highways across three states and mapped Missouri’s worst stretches. They also exposed the state’s Department of Transportation (MoDOT) as a bloated bureaucracy that operates with almost no accountability or oversight. The Star’s two-part series, “State of Disrepair,” provided readers with detailed analysis and reporting that identified the problems and potential solutions. As a result of The Star’s investigation, Missouri’s state auditor called for sweeping changes at MoDOT. And residents of Kansas City learned how a Knight Ridder newspaper always goes the extra mile for its readers. The Philadelphia Inquirer The (Columbia, S.C.) State Duluth (Minn.)

  • September2013 Broadsheet
    The Broadsheet Newsletter of the New Mexico Press Women September 2013 From the Desk of the President Cheryl Fallstead It’s hard to believe that summer is coming to an end already — which means it’s time for us to start planning the 2014 NMPW conference. It seems as though we were just with you in Albuquerque! This time the Las Cruces Press Women will be hosting the conference, and they are looking at a variety of options for a location, including Ruidoso and other places we haven’t visited recently. The board is also considering reducing the number of workshops, perhaps starting the day with the Zia Awards Luncheon, hosting two workshops, then wrapping up with a celebration of our award winners and honoring our Communicator of Achievement. A Sunday morning post-conference optional tour may be offered as well. Speaking of CoA, it is not too early to start thinking of someone you would like to nominate for our highest award! The nominee must have been a member of NMPW and NFPW for at least the last two years. The judging criteria is based 60 percent on professional achievement, 20 percent on community service and 20 percent on NFPW and affiliate service. Surely you know someone who meets these criteria and deserves to be honored! Anyone may nominate a member to be the CoA. Nomination information is on the NFPW website. NMPW will select one of the nominees to move forward to the NFPW competition. Along with several other NMPW members, I recently attended the NFPW conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
