Earlier this year, we announced an opening for an assistant editor at Source—and went on to receive an extraordinary set of applications from amazing candidates around the world. After an involved selection process, we are very happy to introduce Lindsay Muscato, Source’s new assistant editor, who will be working with us on an upcoming site restructure and leading much of the day-to-day editorial work of keeping Source connected to the news code community.

Lindsay is a freelance journalist and editor working out of Chicago, and is currently completing a project with the Smart Chicago Collaborative on a book about the Chicago School of Data. Her web presence goes back to 1996, and her background includes filing stories from Phnom Penh, helping run WRITE CLUB, and working with the amazing theater crew known as the Neo-Futurists.

You’ll be seeing Lindsay’s byline on Source and, if you work on a newsroom tech or design team, you’ll probably see her name pop up in your inbox or on Twitter as she helps us expand our coverage of the news code community and the amazing things it makes.

Welcome, Lindsay!
