HALLOWELL — The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative news service, recently hired Hildie Lipson as chief operating officer.

“Our organization is four years old and growing and we find we need to have an experienced nonprofit executive oversee the business side of the center,” said John Christie, publisher. “That will allow the center to continue to work on sustaining itself and also devote more effort to journalism.”

Lipson spent 16 years working at MaineShare, which distributes donations to 40 groups statewide through payroll giving and direct contributions.

Lipson will be responsible for the business and fundraising operations of the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting. Christie and Naomi Schalit, the executive director, will continue to be the chief writers for the center and make all editorial decisions.

Lipson, who lives in Wayne, is a graduate of the University of Michigan.

The center publishes in-depth, independent and evidence-based journalism, specializing in state government. Many of its articles appear in The Times Record.
