Laura Manley will be joining the Shorenstein Center as its next executive director. She is currently director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs' Technology and Public Purpose (TAPP) Project at Harvard Kennedy School, and is an experienced leader in higher education and non-governmental organizations, with over a decade of experience using data and technology for the health of democratic societies.
“I am excited to be joining the Shorenstein Center to help build a healthier information ecosystem,” says Manley. “Over the past decade, I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that people get high quality information and data to make evidence-based decisions — and the media, journalists and policymakers are a critical part of this equation. The work the Shorenstein Center is doing on all sides of the information ecosystem right now is deeply important, and I am honored to support it.”
