Mark Ragan

Mark Ragan is the CEO of Lawrence Ragan Communications and publisher of four daily news sites, including PR Daily and Ragan.com.

Mark began his career as a newspaper reporter and writer long before the term “content producer” had been invented.

During his 15-year career he covered business and politics for The San Diego Tribune, Copley News Service and New York Newsday.

In addition to his CEO responsibilities at Ragan, Mark is the co-founder of Ragan Consulting Group, along with long time business partner Jim Ylisela.

Together, Ylisela and Ragan have helped companies build their own news and brand journalism sites, beginning with the premise that businesses should “stop begging the media and become the media instead.”
