Cory is an online journalist who has spent her last decade managing the disruption of web media – which she likes. From reporting, to editing, to multimedia, to production, she has had her hands in most things that make online journalism work.

Cory truly cut her teeth following the storms of the Gulf Coast at NOLA.com, Web site of the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, where she was the Managing Editor. Yes, during Hurricane Katrina. She is currently the Assistant Managing Editor for Seattletimes.com, where she spends most of her day helping other folks make sense of the web and inventing words like "Weberprise" (ask her). Cory holds a master’s of arts in communication theory from the University of New Orleans and likes running ... far.
