LAURA COLARUSSO, the editor of Nieman Reports, will be taking over as editor of CommonWealth Beacon in November.
Colarusso will be replacing Bruce Mohl, who is retiring after nearly 16 years in that role.
Nieman Reports is one of three publications published by the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University. It focuses on thought leadership in journalism. Colarusso has served as editor since January and prior to that as senior editor since July 2021.
A graduate of Columbia University and Columbia’s graduate school of journalism, Colarusso has also worked as digital managing editor at WGBH and digital opinion editor at the Boston Globe.
“CommonWealth Beacon has a long history of creating outstanding journalism that helps the people of Massachusetts understand their government and the changes taking place in the world around them,” Colarusso said in a statement. “I couldn’t be more excited to join this organization at such a critical time for our democracy, and I’m looking forward to leading CommonWealth Beacon as we work to connect with broader and more diverse audiences, and deliver even more high quality news and information to our readers.”
