Dorrine Mendoza

AI enthusiast. Lover of dogs, nature, creative health and good storytelling. Most recently, I led product and partnerships at the American Journalism Project's Product & AI Studio, helping newsrooms harness new technologies to strengthen their operations. Before that, Dorrine spent eight years on Meta's News Team in a variety of roles, including managing grant programs, helping to start the Local News Accelerator, a multimillion-dollar initiative that helps local publishers grow reader revenue, and how she met Blue Engine’s Tim Griggs and David Grant! She’s an Arizona native but has lived in Southern California, Atlanta, and New York.
