Staff
Christy Little (Go! editor)
I joined the Journal-World staff in June 2001 as a copy editor. Since then, I have served as special sections editor, producing content such as the KU and Progress editions, and also sponsored the J-W teen advisory board from 2002 to 2005.
I'm now editor of the Go! section, which publishes on Mondays. You won't see my byline too often, because most of my job takes place behind the scenes — editing, layout and production work for Pulse and Go! I also coordinate arts notes for the Sunday Pulse section and blog occasionally for Lawrence.com — especially if it relates to horror, my favorite movie genre!
I grew up in Lenexa and graduated with a bachelor's degree in secondary education-English/journalism from Kansas State University. I taught high school journalism in Independence, Mo., before joining the Journal-World staff.
You can find me on Twitter, and I welcome your feedback and story suggestions, too.
