ABOUT PRISKA NEELY
I am a journalist and leader, passionate about providing the training and mentorship needed to strengthen and diversify the field of journalism. The through line of my career is helping others do their best work. I am currently the training manager for Report for America, helping to provide journalists in local newsrooms across the country gain the skills they need to succeed. I was the founding managing editor of the Gulf States Newsroom, a collaboration among NPR and member stations in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. I built the regional newsroom from the ground up — hiring editors and reporters and creating systems and structures for collaboration across stations, states and topic areas. I was named 2022 Editor of the Year by the Public Media Journalists Association. I am also board president of PMJA.
