Five years ago, this blog reported that an alumna journalist, Katrina Trinko (™09), had been named the managing editor of a new online publication of The Heritage Foundation. Five years later, The Daily Signal now attracts 26.8 million site visits per year and boasts 400,000 subscribers to its œMorning Bell� daily email blast ” and Miss Trinko has been its editor-in-chief.

œOne of our first decisions was to hire Kate,� says Rob Bluey, Heritage™s vice president for communications. œIt™s because of her leadership and commitment to outstanding journalism that The Daily Signal is a must-read source of news and commentary. I congratulate her on this promotion and look forward to working with her to continue growing our reach and influence.�

In her new role, Miss Trinko is responsible for directing The Daily Signal™s editorial content. She also continues to co-host  and produces commentary for the publication. Additionally she is a member of USA Today™s Board of Contributors, writing columns on a wide range of topics such as culture, technology, and education.

œI™m honored,� she says, œto become the editor-in-chief of an outlet focused on illustrating how Washington™s policy decisions affect the lives of everyday Americans.�
