Director of Networking Programming of Hearst Digital Media, where she
relaunched popular sites such as Cosmopolitan.com and HarpersBazaar.com.
Jones spent over four years at Time Inc. as the Site Editor of
Parenting.com and AOL Parenting. At Meredith Corporation, Jones was the
Site Director of AmericanBaby.com and HealthyKids.com and at Disney
where she was the Senior Producer of Family.com. Jones began her career
as Editorial Director of BetterHealth.com at iVillage.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rebecca Dolgin and
Sally Jones to The Knot,” said Carley Roney,
Editor in Chief. “They have it all —
a hip point of view, brilliant editing skills, proven managerial
experience, and a mastery of both the magazine and digital mediums. They
will be key in our continued growth as the most innovative editorial
voice in the online industry.”
Dolgin holds bachelor’s degrees in magazine
