Hillary Frey

Slate has tapped Hillary Frey as editor-in-chief, replacing Jared Hohlt.

Currently, Frey serves as a creator in residence at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.  Before that, she was at HuffPost, where she has held the posts of consultant/director of strategy and executive editor.

Previously, she has held leadership roles at NBC News, Adweek, and Yahoo News, in addition to her executive editor stints.

Slate CEO Dan Check said:

“I feel confident that Hillary is the exact right person to lead Slate’s newsroom in this new phase of growth and as we continue to build on our legacy.

Frey added:

“I could not be more thrilled to join Slate as editor in chief. For me, this role brings together passions from my early career—culture, books, ideas—with my experience in news and newsroom management.”
