Corey to lead The Baltimore Sun’s news operations
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Sun says Mary J. Corey has been named senior vice president and director of content, becoming the first woman to hold the newspaper’s top editorial post in its 173-year history.
Corey, 46, will oversee all print and digital news operations, a role once known as editor when news was delivered only through the newspaper.
A former features editor and national correspondent, Corey joined The Sun in 1987 and was named head of print operations a year ago. She has led The Sun’s newsroom since the departure in March of her predecessor, J. Montgomery Cook.
The Cockeysville native led the launch in February of three new print sections: Health & Style on Thursdays; a revamped Live! section on Fridays; and Business & Jobs on Sundays.
