Rebecca Carroll
It happened to her: writer and editor Rebecca Carroll has been hired as the new managing editor of xoJane, Jane Pratt's confessional women's website.
"I'm so thrilled to be joining such a fantastic group of whip smart, funny, self-aware women, and to help further develop the site's already standout narrative content," Ms. Carroll said. "As thrilling is the opportunity to work with Jane Pratt, a true media pistol with a mind of her own and a legacy of sheer ingenuity."
Ms. Carroll was the founding editor of Africana.com and has been an editor at several online and print publications, including Paper Magazine, Artinfo.com and The Huffington Post.
