Jacqui Lough joins News Catalyst team

I am so excited to announce the latest hire to the News Catalyst team.

Jacqui Lough will join News Catalyst as our developer. Jacqui is one of the most accomplished and successful developers in the news industry, and we’re honored that she accepted the offer to join our team.

At News Catalyst, Jacqui will focus on our most important technological efforts. This includes PressPass, our single sign-on suite for news tools, and other technology-focused initiatives that News Catalyst will undertake in the coming year. We see part of our mission as getting the right tools and technology into the hands of news organizations. Jacqui will be vital to that effort.

Before joining News Catalyst, Jacqui was the head of interactive news for Condé Nast, focused on a dozen international Vogue markets. She previously worked at the BBC and the New York Times, focusing on interactive news and data journalism. Prior to her work in media, Jacqui helped develop Friendster. Recently, Jacqui moved to Australia, where she will continue to work.

So if you’re keeping score, Jacqui has worked for the most successful news organizations in the world and helped develop a foundational social network that changed the way we used the internet. No big deal.

Please join me in welcoming Jacqui to the News Catalyst team.
