Tom Curley, president and CEO of the Associated Press will join Homer Erekson (dean, Neeley School) on stage for the Tandy Executive Speaker Series, Wednesday, March 31, 7:30-9 a.m. in the Brown-Lupton University Union.

Curley was named president and CEO of AP in 2003. Under his leadership AP is moving to capture the growing audience for digital and video news and assure AP’s relevance in the rapidly changing media world. Curley also has deepened AP’s commitment to the people’s right to know and serves as one of the nation’s most aggressive advocates for open government.

 

 

As part of his strategy for the digital age, Curley has charted an international plan to drive content and new business. A first milestone was the creation of a multimedia database that allows all AP content to be searched by AP journalists and customers alike. AP has added content for finance, on-line video and entertainment audiences.

 

 

Curley previously was president and publisher of USA Today, and senior vice president of the newspaper’s owner, Gannett Co. Inc. He received the William Allen White Foundation’s national citation for outstanding journalism service in 2009.
