Al Jazeera America has brought in Time Warner alum Dawn Bridges to head corporate communications for the expanding U.S. push of the Qatari news network.
Bridges was senior VP of communications for TW's Time Inc. and executive VP of corporate communications and partnership marketing for its Warner Music Group division.
She also held senior communications posts at EMI Group and PolyGram, now part of Universal. She has run her own New York shop for the past two years since leaving Time Inc.
At Al Jazeera, she reports to interim CEO Ehab Al Shihabi. The New York-based network last month announced an "accelerated" growth plan in the U.S., including additional staff, more news bureaus, wider distribution (including Time Warner last month), and more investigative reporting.
It hired PBS' Ray Suarez as a host and ex-Popular Science editor-in-chief Jacob Ward as a correspondent this month.
