Jackie Hai

Digital Managing Editor

Email: jackie.hai@kunc.org

As KUNC's digital managing editor, I shape the online presence and visual presentation of our news coverage. I make our content accessible across various platforms, including the web, podcasts and social media, create data visualizations and take and edit photos and videos.

I believe in journalism as a reflection of our experiences through the stories we tell and as a tool for navigating the complex truths that make us more informed, engaged members of society. My goal is to help elevate the many voices of Northern Colorado and build sustaining relationships between KUNC and the communities we live, work and play in.

I moved to Colorado from the New England coast, where I was born, by way of the deserts of Arizona, where I was a senior digital editor at KJZZ Phoenix and multimedia specialist at ASU's Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a B.A. in journalism in 2009.

I also formerly served on the board of directors for the non-profit Journalism That Matters and have presented at a public radio conference as part of a panel on community engagement.

When not on the job, I can usually be found exploring the outdoors or working on creative projects with my partner, cooking a new recipe, tending to our balcony garden or fostering cats and kittens with a local animal rescue.
