Amy King, Senior Newsroom Executive
I lead teams, shape strategy, and drive impact. I've spent 18 years in major newsrooms figuring out how editorial ambition and business results actually fit together, and I've brought that to my work as a senior leader on the masthead at the Los Angeles Times. The before and after on every team I've touched is visible. From teams of art directors to food and lifestyle reporters, I find what's not working and fix it.

The Los Angeles Times
As Deputy Managing Editor and Creative Director at the Los Angeles Times, I oversee 60-plus editors, reporters and art directors across our Lifestyle, Food, Entertainment and West Coast Experiences teams. I shape strategy, modernize teams and keep us focused on what audiences actually care about.
The Lily
As Founder, Editor in Chief and Creative Director of The Lily, a site I pitched and launched within the Washington Post, I led the team that built the brand from the ground up, developing both the visual identity and editorial voice. It quickly became a recognizable brand beloved by millennial women, known for custom design treatments, an award-winning newsletter and a community that lived on Instagram.
The Washington Post
As Design Director for Emerging News Products at the Washington Post, I helped build and launch products to find new audiences and subscribers for Post journalism, working with third-party platforms to distribute our journalism as widely as possible. That included leading the visual team on the Washington Post Select app, overseeing a full design refresh aimed at creating a clean, visual reading experience, and launching The Lily. I started at the Post as an art director before working my way into a leadership role
