   Jessica Clark, Research Director, is the executive editor of In These Times, a national monthly magazine of progressive news, analysis and cultural reporting. Since 2002, she has worked on nearly every facet of the magazine, serving as its managing editor, associate publisher and assistant publisher; overseeing the transition to its current monthly format; coordinating special issues and events; and working on strategic planning, circulation growth and outreach.
   
   In addition, she works in tandem with In These Times publisher Tracy Van Slyke to document and foster an emerging national network of progressive media outlets. Together they also co-author a monthly column on media and politics, "Spin Cycle."
   
   Jessica has been researching, creating, writing and fighting for independent media since the late '90s. Through a Ford Foundation grant at American University's Center for Social Media, she is currently examining the rise of user-driven digital video platforms like YouTube. She also serves on the board of Stay Free! magazine, and helped to bring that publication's controversial and widely covered exhibit, Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age, to Chicago. She has served on the steering committee for the Midwest office of the Independent Press Association, and has worked on a wide variety of media activism efforts with organizations like The Media Consortium and Media Matters for America.
   
   As a co-editor and writer for LiP Magazine from late 2001 to 2002, Jessica helped to broaden the magazine's audience by transitioning the publication to the Web. During that time, LiP-which continues to champion "dangerous humor, liberated eroticism and informed revolt"-was nominated for an Utne Independent Press Award in the "Best Online Cultural Coverage" category.
   
   Jessica has also held editorial positions at Britannica.com, the Library of Congress, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and marketing positions at the Field Museum and the University of Chicago Press. She holds an MA in Social Sciences and a BA in English from the University of Chicago.
