Associated Press appoints Clay Haswell to new international position

NEW YORK — The Associated Press has named Clay Haswell to the new position of regional director-global business for Asia and the Pacific.

Haswell is currently AP bureau chief for California and Nevada, and is based in San Francisco. The appointment was announced Wednesday by John Keitt, senior vice president for global business.

"In his previous roles, Clay Haswell has elevated The AP n journalism, customer relationships and cultural understanding," said Associated Press President and CEO Tom Curley. "He will build on those skills to lead AP’s efforts to capture a greater share of the transforming Asian marketplace."

Haswell first joined the AP in 1982, as a reporter in Providence, R.I., and went on to work for AP in Boston and Minneapolis until 1990. He rejoined AP in 1999 as a California bureau chief, after serving as executive editor and vice president of Lesher Communications. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California and is a founder of the World Free Press Institute, a non-profit organization that trains journalists in developing countries.
