The following excerpt was sent out on behalf of the Los Angeles Times assistant managing editor for culture and talent Angel Jennings:
Anh Do
I’m thrilled to announce that Anh Do has been named community engagement editor at the Los Angeles Times.
She will pioneer a new initiative designed to bring our journalism and journalists closer to the people we serve. The goal: to create space for a cross section of society to engage with the staff. As our organization’s public face, Do will serve as a bridge between our community of readers and the newsroom, helping to deepen our relationship with our audiences.
Do steps into the role after spending nearly 11 years as a Metro reporter covering Asian American issues and general assignments. Born in Saigon, Do is a graduate of USC with dual degrees in journalism and English. She has worked at the Seattle Times, the Orange County Register and Nguoi Viet Daily News, the largest Vietnamese-language publication in the nation, launched by her late father.
