Kimberly Lawson

Hi there! I’m an experienced journalist and newsroom leader who builds news products people actually want to read.

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of journalism, audience, and product—launching newsrooms, growing audiences, developing newsletters and editorial franchises, and finding better ways to connect useful journalism with the people it’s meant to serve.

Today, I’m Vice President of Newsletters at COURIER, where I lead newsletter strategy across a national network of local newsrooms.

Prior to landing at my current workplace, I freelanced for a number of national and regional publications, did some social media marketing and public relations, and taught college freshman English. My writing has ranged from long-form and short-form journalism to copywriting and editing social media content.

My stories have been featured in, among others:

• The New York Times

• O, The Oprah Magazine

• The Nation

• VICE

• Parents

• Marijuana Moment

• Brides

• The Week

• Healthline

• Charlotte magazine

• Nashville Scene
