Protocol hires Hite as senior product manager

Brittany Hite

Tech news site Protocol has hired Brittany Hite as senior product manager.

She will start later this month.

Hite has been at the Los Angeles Times as a newsroom project manager since February 2019, working on content management system and on digital workflow and processes.

She previously was at Barron’s, which she joined in 2018. Hite helped to oversee a website relaunch and to train a 50-person staff on a new content management system.

Hite spent most of her career at the Wall Street Journal. She joined the newspaper in 2007 as a news assistant in New York and then — after a two-year stint at a Beijing-based publication, China Economist — served as an online editor in Hong Kong, as a multimedia editor in Beijing, and as mobile editor for Asia, back in Hong Kong.

As senior mobile editor in New York in 2016-17, she co-managed a 14-person team that relaunched the Journal’s mobile app and developed its push-alert strategy. Hite studied journalism and political science at Indiana University.
