INN HIRES CHIEF NETWORK OFFICER, COLLABORATIONS LEADER; PROMOTES LIMA AND SCARLETT
INN is pleased to announce two additions and two promotions to its leadership team:
Jonathan Kealing joins INN as its first chief network officer, responsible for strengthening collaboration among INN's network of nonprofit newsrooms and develops partnerships and services that help them meet their missions and increase the impact of their journalism. Kealing leads the Amplify Project among Midwest newsrooms piloting news sharing and distribution models. Before joining INN, Kealing was part of the executive leadership team at Public Radio International, serving as executive editor for PRI.org. He can be reached at jonathan@inn.org.
Sharon McGowan joins INN as its first Amplify Collaborations Leader, working with members throughout the Midwest on collaborative resources and coverage of public affairs issues that span the region. McGowan was the founding editor of Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, an award-winning nonprofit news organization that has covered low-income, minority communities in Milwaukee's central city since 2011. She started her career as a reporter and then managing editor at The Chicago Reporter, which covers race and poverty. She can be reached at sharon@inn.org.
Fran Scarlett, INN's business coach, has been promoted to Chief Knowledge Officer, a role encompassing her current management of INN training and online resources, plus a portfolio of leadership development work — continuing cohorts of Emerging Leaders, a new Futures Fellowships program, the Emma Bowen program and other diversity efforts.
Kay Lima, INN's acting director for INN Labs, has been promoted to the full director of INN Labs. Her team will be expanding in the coming months along with additional work with partners, such as The Trust Project, and a number of other projects for independent newsrooms.
Please join us in congratulating them!
