The following excerpt was sent out on behalf of the Los Angeles Times’ head of newsletters Karim Doumar:
Kevinisha Walker has joined the Los Angeles Times newsletter team as a multiplatform editor.
In this role, Walker will help write and compile flagship L.A. Times newsletters and collaborate with writers and editors to improve the quality and reach of a portfolio of our newsletters.
The trust, habit and intimacy L.A. Times newsletters build with our readers are key to our digital growth and sustainability.
That’s why I am so excited Walker has joined the newsroom.
Walker comes to The Times from the Daily Beast, where she worked as a social media editor, writing beast-y captions for social media that captured the essence and tone of the news outlet.
In a career that has brought her from Reveal, the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, NOLA.com and now the Los Angeles Times, she has shown a commitment to writing, editing, curating and audience building that empowers readers and colleagues alike.
Walker has a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Orleans and a master’s in journalism from Roosevelt University. She is a proud New Orleanian, but currently calls Long Beach home.
She started April 3.
