Janet Reeves Named AME/Photo, The Washington Times

 

WASHINGTON, DC (September 2, 2009) – Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photography editor Janet Reeves has been named as the new assistant managing editor for photography at The Washington Times, executive editor John Solomon announced today.

"Janet is one of the country's premiere photojournalists, a leader in embracing the enormous opportunities that twenty-first century convergence has afforded the news industry," Solomon said in the Times this morning. "Her impeccable news judgment, her gift for compelling visual storytelling and her commitment to excellence will propel our efforts to transform the Times from a newspaper company to a multimedia news powerhouse."

During the last ten years Reeves – an NPPA member since 1984 – led the photography staff of The Rocky Mountain News to three Pulitzer Prizes for their coverage of the Columbine massacre, their coverage of Colorado's wildfires, and for photojournalist Todd Heisler's "Final Salute." The 150-year-old Rocky shut its doors in February when owners E. W. Scripps Co. failed to find a buyer.
