Feder: Mary Mitchell returns to Sun-Times as full-time columnist
Posted July 22, 2020 11:00 pm
One year after Mary Mitchell semiretired, the Chicago Journalism Hall of Famer is returning to the Sun-Times as a full-time columnist, Robert Feder writes.
Starting in August she'll write two columns a week and take on a new position as director of newsroom culture and community engagement.
In the new role, Mitchell said she will use her “institutional knowledge of the city and of the newsroom to help ensure that we are practicing what we preach when it comes to racial inclusion and equity.”
In July 2019 Mitchell stepped down after 29 years at the paper and shifted to writing occasional columns and serving as consultant to the editorial board.
