  • June 2022: Lila Jezierski Mills ’92

    Lila Jezierski Mills ’92 credits her Laurel teachers with inspiring her love of writing and literature and for supporting her in becoming a first-generation college graduate. After completing her undergraduate education and earning a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University, Lila returned to Cleveland to use journalism to tell the stories that weren’t being told. She launched Cleveland Documenters, training Clevelanders to document local government committee meetings, as she believes there “is much to be gained when more people commit acts of journalism and when we democratize the practice of journalism.” Lila has recently been named Editor-in-Chief of the Ohio Local News Initiative, a new nonprofit newsroom that aims to flip traditional news on its head by taking its cues on stories to cover from the community, instead of a small group of editors.
