VOX GM and VOX MEDIA VP of Network Development ANDREW GOLIS has been named Chief Content Officer of NEW YORK PUBLIC MEDIA's WNYC (News-Talk WNYC-A-F/NEW YORK, WNYC STUDIOS, and WNYC NEWS).

“At this moment when local news is threatened, the financial model for journalism is turbulent and the podcasting space is more crowded than ever, we need a content leader who can build on our strong legacy of trusted journalism, conversation and storytelling while also charting a visionary path forward -- and ANDREW is the right person to lead the charge,” said NEW YORK PUBLIC RADIO President and CEO LAURA WALKER. “He has  worked at the forefront of digital media with deep experience working across content platforms, but also brings fluency with traditional media and podcasting. As we grow our digital portfolio and aspire to serve more audiences, I am thrilled to welcome ANDREW to WNYC.”

GOLIS, a former digital manager at PBS' FRONTLINE and THE ATLANTIC's first "Entrepreneur in Residence," said, “With its reporting on our city and the communities in and around it, WNYC taught me and millions of others what it means to be a New Yorker.  And it’s taught our entire industry how smart and beautiful audio storytelling on the air or on your podcast app can be. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from and support this extraordinary team of journalists.”
