Elizabeth Pagano
Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Pagano has been writing for the Austin Monitor since late 2010, after narrowly avoiding a fate as a librarian. You can email her at editor@austinmonitor.com. She also grouses on Twitter, sometimes @lizpagano.
Brian Kelsey
Brian Kelsey is the founder of Nashville-based Civic Analytics and serves as research director at the Capital of Texas Media Foundation. He has completed research and consulting projects for more than fifty clients across the U.S., including a study of Austin’s technology sector that was quoted by President Obama in a 2013 speech.
