The Public Manager, a quarterly journal about empowering government
and developing leaders, announces an editorial change in the Spring
2011 issue. Washington press corps veteran Ilyse Veron will take
over as editor, according to the journal's publisher Carrie
Blustin, while longtime editor Warren Master will assume a new role
as Editor-at-Large.
"For eleven years Warren Master kept readers on the leading-edge
with innovative public management articles," said Blustin. "We look
forward to his continued contributions as Editor-at-Large,
anchoring interviews for the journal's new podcast series, sharing
insights in his blog, Agile Bureaucracy, and presenting at our
events."
"This change brings new opportunities to provide more timely
content and perspective," Ms. Blustin continued. "Ilyse Veron
brings years of award-winning experience covering media,
technology, and public affairs, including actions of every federal
department and agendas of multiple presidents. And, she's done it
for CQ and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, among others."
Master's final spring issue centers on public managers'
preparations for climate change. Ms. Veron's first issue, due out
in June, will offer a forum on 21st century government - its
technology, performance, and talent management. The summer issue of
the journal will launch Ms. Veron's new column, Editorial
Perspective, and other features.
Ms. Veron joined The Public Manager after years of producing
events, programs, and reports with MacNeil-Lehrer Productions, and
she has already begun blogging and podcasting along with Mr. Master
on management issues at www.thepublicmanager.org.
Ms. Veron's career began at The Brookings Institution, followed by
years at Congressional Quarterly. In the mid-90s, she served as
principal researcher on The System, a book by David Broder and
Haynes Johnson. From 1995-2002 she reported for the NewsHour on
national and business news, earning an Emmy award for coverage of
the Justice Department's case against Microsoft and recognition
from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. Since 2002 Ms. Veron
has specialized in outreach and project management, working on
citizen events and broadcasts such as PBS' By the People and
"Bernanke on the Record," and she has developed content on various
media platforms for nonpartisan nonprofits with a federal focus.
Her freelance bylines have run on Scripps Howard Wire Service,
Wired.com, Foxnews.com, and elsewhere, most recently in Education
Week's Digital Directions magazine.
