Roth will be leading the Ohio Newsroom, becoming the first managing editor to take the editorial reins for Ohio’s largest daily statewide news collaborative. The collaborative will act as a network of public radio newsrooms, covering news deserts in the state, telling stories that would not have been otherwise told, and connecting and contextualizing coverage statewide. Roth comes to the position from WFPL News in Louisville where she oversaw health, education, Southern Indiana and environmental coverage as News Editor. She previously worked as All Things Considered host for 89.7 NPR News in Columbus, OH.
