About Greg Fitzgerald

How do you convince editors and writers that your organization creates some of the best journalism on the planet? You produce engaging live and online events highlighting your organization\'s distinction; you successfully place major stories on all the digital news aggregators such as Apple News, Flipboard, and National Geographic. You create engaging news campaigns as newsletters, as well as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn Posts. You assure the placement of your journalists on major news magazines on NPR, PBS, BBC, and cable news outlets. An early decade as an NPR journalist and senior editor provided me with the editorial chops to understand how media works. I\'ve leveraged that experience with the thrill of scoring major audience gains for organizations like The Christian Science Monitor, global broadcaster Deutsche Welle, WGBH, and Global startup incubator RVC-USA.I\'ve been a manager of newsrooms, both large and small, and led my own successful agency for 10 years. What\'s next? Let\'s find out.

Experience

1. Communications Manager

   The Christian Science Monitor

   Jul 2017 — Present · Boston, MA, US

   The great journalism that earned The Christian Science Monitor seven Pulitzers and numerous overseas press awards can get lost in the noise of a crowded media landscape. Extending the distinction of Monitor journalism to external organizations such as Apple News, Flipboard, and National Geographic is one of my major functions at the Monitor. Having come from a radio background, I\'m also committed to ensuring the Monitor\'s audio production is heard by listeners on the web and via podcast platforms. I produce many online and live events for the Monitor and supervise a content sales effort that brings in 650K each year in sales to publishers such as The New York Times, AP, Bloomquist, and others. By creating engaging newsletters, audio-video, and social media content on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, I\'ve also brought hundreds of thousands of new readers both online and in print to this 114-year-old news organization.
