Executive Editor
Dann Miller is the executive editor of Lookout Eugene-Springfield, bringing decades of leadership experience in both traditional and digital newsrooms.
A native of Elmira, New York, Dann began his journalism career at his hometown newspaper while still in high school. His path has taken him across the country, leading newsrooms at the Army Times Publishing Company outside Washington, D.C., the Tallahassee Democrat in Florida, and the Erie Times-News in Pennsylvania before moving west to the Yakima Herald-Republic in Washington and the Statesman Journal in Salem, Oregon.
After leaving Oregon in 2018, Dann served as news director for the Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tennessee, overseeing coverage in Arkansas and Mississippi, before taking on the same role at the Courier Journal in Louisville, Kentucky.
Now, he returns to Oregon, a place he has long considered home. “The Willamette Valley holds a special place in my heart. I miss the mountains, coast, climate, produce, and people that helped shape me as a person and a journalist.”
Throughout his career, Dann has been committed to fair, aggressive, and nonpartisan local journalism. He has a proven ability to build strong teams and foster deep community connections to ensure vital stories are told with accuracy and impact. As executive editor, he leads Lookout Eugene-Springfield’s mission to provide high-quality journalism that reflects and serves the people of Lane County.
