Brenna Maloney Returns To Post

From an internal announcement from the Post’s Jill Dutt:

Brenna Maloney Returns as Feature Graphics Editor

After a year away, Brenna Maloney is returning to The Post to take the newly created position of Graphics Editor for the Food, Home and Health sections. We’re thrilled.

These sections share a hunger for visually attractive, informative displays and Brenna will be feeding all three. She will be reporting and writing charticles and info-graphics that will sometimes stand on their own and at other points supplement the more traditional stories in the sections.

Brenna will also be a driving force in bringing together the graphics
packages developed for these sections on washingtonpost.com and in the newspaper.

It’s a big job and Brenna is the perfect person to fill it. She was the Metro Graphics Editor from Jan. 1998 until last October and developed a fan base all around the room, from Photo to News Art to the editors in Investigative. Her work was also a consistent winner in Society for Newspaper Design contests. She worked in graphics at Knight-Ridder for four years before her first tour at The Post. She spent her past year just down the street at National Geographic, where she executed beautiful, complex graphics on topics as diverse as soccer and hurricanes.

Brenna’s first day back will be Oct. 30. She is eager to return: “Tell the staff I’m a newspaper girl at heart and just got too homesick.”

Most interesting is how short her stint was at National Geographic.

Hmm…wonder why…
