Corey as Senior Vice President/Director of Content for The Baltimore Sun, effective today. In this role, she will oversee the editorial content for the Baltimore Sun's newspaper and digital platforms. She is the first woman to be responsible for all newsgathering and editing functions at The Baltimore Sun in its 173-year history. "Mary Corey is a talented, experienced journalist, with significant knowledge of Baltimore and the surrounding region," said Timothy E. Ryan, Publisher of The Baltimore Sun. "She is an exceptional leader who brings out the best in her team of reporters, designers and editors." Mary has more than 23 years of experience in reporting, editing and newsroom management.

During her six-year tenure in that position, The Baltimore Sun received numerous first-place awards from the American Association of Sunday and Features Editors, and she served as a Pulitzer Prize juror for feature writing. She was also instrumental in developing online strategies including the creation of blogs, web-exclusive content, videos and photo galleries. In 2009, Corey was promoted to Head of Print and under her leadership The Baltimore Sun produced some of its best local reporting, including the resignation of Baltimore's mayor, the effect of two record-breaking snowstorms and the Ravens playoff run. In February of this year, she led the launch of three new print sections that are popular with both readers and advertisers: Health & Style on Thursdays; the newly revamped Live! tabloid on Fridays; and Business & Jobs on Sundays.

The Sun's long-standing mission of delivering news and information to Marylanders about their world is more vital than ever, and I'm determined that our dedicated staff excel in that realm. That means relying on the enduring values of journalism and seizing new opportunities to reach readers," said Corey.
