Mary Glick specializes in helping editors be better coaches, managers and reader-oriented journalists. Her newsroom seminars focus on cultivating a more inclusive management style that plays to employee strengths. Her interest in news coverage of women and the influence of women editors has led to the development of API programs on women's leadership in the newspaper industry.

Mary also directs the Institute’s Knowledge Center, supervising the daily e-mail newsletter, Business of News SmartBrief, and designing API research. She came to API from the State University of New York, College at Oswego, where she directed the journalism program and founded the Center for Community Journalism, an institute for improving the quality of journalism in weeklies and small dailies. She began teaching journalism at California State University, Long Beach, and was named Outstanding Journalism Educator by the California Newspaper Publishers Association. For nine years she held editorial positions for daily newspapers in Southern California, including posts at the Star-News in Pasadena and Copley Los Angeles Newspapers. Before launching her newspaper career, she worked in marketing and public relations and was a private communications consultant.

Mary holds a bachelor's degree in English from SUNY Oswego and a master's in communications from California State University, Fullerton. Prior to joining the API staff, she attended a seminar for journalism educators.
