Matt Wood to Join Free Press as Policy Director

Matt Wood, associate director for Media Access Project, will be joining Free Press as policy director. He will join Free Press next week, following the Memorial Day holiday. "He is a tremendous asset and we are happy to have him come aboard," said Free Press Policy Counsel Corrie Wright. Former Free Press policy director Ben Scott exited a year ago to become an adviser at the State Department. In the interim, Free Press research director Derek Turner had been handling the policy team as well.
