Eugene Sonn

While collaboration may be new to some in journalism, Eugene Sonn has been getting newsrooms to work together since 1998. Gene first did this as a reporter, then as WHYY’s news director and since November 2020, he has led the Philadelphia Journalism Collaborative. Gene is excited to continue leading the collaboration of 30 newsrooms in its new home at the Center for Community-Engaged Media at Temple’s Klein College of Media and Communication. When not helping reporters and editors work together, Gene can be found biking, brewing beer or sharing his rabid love of the Boston Red Sox with his two sons.
