MIAMI (AP) — Trevor Aaronson has been named executive director of the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting.
The organization announced Wednesday that Aaronson will start his new position Oct. 1.
Aaronson will be responsible for FCIR’s day-to-day operations. He will focus on growing the nonprofit organization’s journalism and revenue. This newly created position gives Aaronson a seat on the board of directors.
Aaronson will work with FCIR’s editor Tristram Korten, who will focus on expanding FCIR’s original investigative reporting and special events.
