Connecticut Public has announced two new additions to its journalism staff: Eric Aasen as executive editor and Mark Mirko as deputy visuals director.
Aasen will lead the Connecticut Public newsroom, overseeing all local news, including radio, digital and television platforms. He joins Connecticut Public from KERA-Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, a PBS/NPR member station, where he led a news department of 35 in the country’s fifth-largest media market.Â
Mirko joins Connecticut Public following a long, award-winning career at the Hartford Courant as a photojournalist. In his new position, Mirko will be a key leader as Connecticut Public continues to grow and expand its commitment to photojournalism, specifically on its evolving digital platforms.
