Sally oversees all broadcast, digital and in-person platforms committed to community-driven, enterprise and investigative journalism. She manages a content team of 14 editors, hosts, reporters and producers who have won more than a dozen local, regional and national awards for their multiplatform journalism. That includes a national Scripps Howard award and a National Headliner award, Edward R. Murrow awards and honors from the Public Media Journalists Association. She also works with the CEO and other members of the senior leadership team on short- and long-term programming strategy and is the liaison to the Community Advisory Board.
Her career includes 10 years as managing editor at WBEZ in Chicago, and 10 years at KQED in San Francisco, where she was the founding senior producer of The California Report, a daily statewide public media news service. In both of those roles, she played a lead role in building the organizations’ local journalism teams, which are now regarded as among the best in public media.
Sally began her career in Michigan, where she studied journalism at Michigan State University, reported on politics and the environment and served as managing editor of the Michigan Public Radio Network.
When she is not working, Sally is learning about Rhode Island quahogs — how to find them and more importantly, how to eat them.
