Affiliated News Services, LLC, has named Katie Lannan as the next editor of its morning newsletter, MASSterList, the tipsheet for insiders and rising stars. Lannan comes to the role with 11 years of reporting experience on Beacon Hill.
Lannan most recently spent four years as State House Reporter for GBH News, producing impactful reporting across multiple platforms. She previously covered Beacon Hill for ANS’ State House News Service for many years. During her time with Beacon Hill’s oldest and largest news team, she expanded the reach of ANS’ content by hosting several SHNS Policy Forums, helping to establish the company’s thriving events division.
“We’re excited to have Katie’s experience and deep political and policy insight drive our coverage,” Affiliated News Services Vice President and MASSterList Publisher Dylan Rossiter said. “Katie will dig beyond the headlines to deliver the context that insiders count on.”
Launched in 2008, MASSterList is the go-to morning resource for plugged-in people. Its audience includes legislators and staff, elected officials, government appointees, policy advocates, legal professionals, and human services leaders, the core of the commonwealth’s political and policy community, as well as business and community leaders.
“I’ve been starting my day reading MASSterList for as long as I’ve worked in journalism,” Lannan said. “I’m thrilled to be starting my day (even earlier) as the person on the other end of the email — and to get going at a time when the election cycle and legislative calendar promise plenty to unwind and analyze.”
