A Little About Laura

Laura Cochran is currently a content manager in Gannett’s ContentOne division. In her current role, she focuses on human-centered design and is constantly trying to make someone commit to a ridiculously smart and innovative idea.

Prior to joining Gannett, she spent three years at washingtonpost.com, where she led the cross-departmental coverage of Maryland, Virginia and D.C. elections. During her tenure, she also managed the live and enterprise coverage of the dedication of the Pentagon Memorial, the D.C.-area’s presidential primary and the 2006 midterms, including the infamous George Allen ‘macaca’ moment.

She is a native of the D.C. area and received her undergraduate degree in journalism from James Madison University. After graduation, she spent a couple of years in Memphis getting her master’s degree in journalism administration, which is where she got her first start in online journalism at The Commercial Appeal. When she’s not at work, she’s doing anything that involves being outside.
