Editor's Note: Welcome Anna Pratt to The Line

We're delighted to welcome Anna Pratt as our new Development Editor, and to wish her predecessor, Chris Steller, all the best in a new venture. Anna is a versatile and experienced young journalist who's tackled a variety of beats--from arts to education, immigration to neighborhood news and development issues--for an array of publications, including the online Minnesota Independent and Daily Planet, Downtown Journal, Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, Minnesota Lawyer, Bloomberg News, KFAI radio, and many others. She's won four awards for her work, and developed a reputation as a reporter who can penetrate just about any barrier to get the story.

We're excited to have her aboard The Line.
