Megan Harper
Editor-in-Chief
Megan Harper is the Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of A News Time. She began her career as an editorial assistant at HuffPost in 2013, where she worked across the news and politics desk during one of digital journalism's most formative periods. She later moved into a section editor role at Vox Media, overseeing a small team of writers covering technology policy and culture.
After nearly a decade in newsrooms, she launched A News Time in 2025 with a clear mission -- build an editorially independent news platform that combines rigorous reporting standards with the speed modern readers expect. Megan sets the editorial tone, approves publishing standards, and works directly with every writer on the team to ensure accuracy and depth across all categories.

Fun Fact
Megan completed the New York Marathon in 2023 on three weeks of training after a colleague dropped out and gave her their bib. She has not attempted it since and considers this her greatest personal achievement outside journalism.
