Christopher Baxter is the CEO and founding editor of Spotlight PA, the largest statewide newsroom in Pennsylvania covering the state government and urgent statewide issues. The nonprofit news organization is among the most promising leading national models for reinvigorating local journalism and returning it to its roots: as a service and value to the public, answering to the public — not profit motives. In his 16 years as an investigative reporter, editor, and media executive, Baxter has routinely produced and overseen journalism that gets real results and drives significant positive change.
