JENNA LANE is a longtime and award-winning radio reporter – with formative stints at Maine Public and news-talk giant KGO – now leading journalism grantmaking and strategic communications for Blue Shield of California Foundation. She believes that journalism can help change the systems at work in our lives, and that journalism is a system that needs to change to survive, thrive, and better serve our communities. Of the many ways we hold a democracy together, journalism and philanthropy are her favorites, and she also served in city government. She shares KALW Public Media’s commitments to facts, diverse voices, culture, and the Bay Area.
