The news media industry is often focused on the people in the spotlight, but the contributions of those behind the scenes are immeasurable.

Their insight, experience and leadership are indispensable and elevate journalism to new heights. Despite not being as celebrated as bylined reporters or columnists, their invaluable contributions cannot be overlooked.
