He succeeds Lucy A. Dalglish, who left the Reporters Committee after 12 years as executive director to become dean of the Philip Merrill School of Journalism at the University of Maryland. Legal Defense Director Gregg P. Leslie served as acting executive director in the interim.Brown’s practice areas include libel and invasion of privacy, copyright, newsgathering, and pre-publication review.
