Edutopia welcomes new editorial staff members Kathryn Baron and Maili Holiman. Baron has joined us as features producer and research editor, and Holiman will step into the creative director's role.

Baron was most recently a Journalism Fellow developing a multidisciplinary, multimedia civic journalism project at the Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Race, Ethnicity and Diversity, at the University of California at Berkeley School of Law.

Baron worked at KQED Public Radio for more than a decade and has impressive experience in television, commercial radio, print, and Internet reporting. She has been a news host and an education reporter, notably on KQED's The California Report. Coming from a family of teachers, she says education is in her DNA.

Her articles have appeared in Parenting, The Nation, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Jose Mercury News, among other publications. She has a BA from the State University of New York at Albany and an MA in journalism from Stanford University.

Holiman has had a distinguished career in magazine design and, recently, Web work for Wired.com and PopUpMagazine.com. She was art director at Wired magazine since 2006.

Prior to that, she was creative director at ReadyMade magazine after working at Spin and Details magazines. She is a graduate of the University of Kansas.
