Cory Tolbert Haik is an online journalist who has spent her last decade managing the disruption of web publishing -- which she likes. From producing content to managing people and products, from reporting to editing, multimedia, back-end production, development, from strategy to tactical web-journalism and its championship -- she has happily had her hands in many things that make online journalism work.

Cory cut her teeth following the storms of the Gulf Coast at NOLA.com, site of the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, where she was the Managing Editor. She shared in two Pulitzer Prizes with The Times-Picayune for the staff coverage of Hurricane Katrina, for breaking news and public service in 2006. She also recently shared in a staff Pulitzer in 2010 for the coverage of police officer shootings with the staff of The Seattle Times. She is currently the Assistant Managing Editor for seattletimes.com -- a place where she spends most of her day helping other folks make sense of the web and inventing words like "Weberprise" (ask her).

Cory holds a Masters of Arts in Communication Theory from the University of New Orleans and likes running....far.
