Research Editor

Megan E. Jones is VOL’s Research Editor, the patient investigator who makes a story sturdier before it reaches the page. She follows dates, documents, market signals, and the small inconsistencies that can change a reader’s understanding of an industry. Her work is a reminder that good storytelling is not only about finding a compelling angle, but also about earning the right to use it.
