I sat down with Warwick Sabin, the new President & CEO of Deep South Today, a networked hub of nonprofit newsrooms, including Mississippi Today and Verite News, serving the Southern region of the United States. We talked about his backstory and the future of nonprofit journalism.

Sabin is a distinguished alumnus of the University of Arkansas who was elected to three terms in the Arkansas House of Representatives and previously served as Publisher of the Oxford American, an award-winning national magazine that focuses on the American South.

Earlier in his career, Sabin was the founding leader of the Innovation Hub in Little Rock, which later became part of Winrock International, which along with the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation is among the three institutions created to sustain the legacy of Arkansas Governor Winthrop Rockefeller. More recently, he served for four years as the executive director of strategic engagement at the Aspen Institute.
