Bio
Ana Lee
I worked with Diane Hughes for several years at The Tennessean. She is a very detail oriented, talented writer bringing a fresh perspective to anything she writes about it. Her personality and knowledge make her a pleasure to work with!
Carol Friday
Diane was a direct report in my department at The Tennessean for 7+ years (1997-2004) until her promotion to writer/copy editor. During her tenure in my department I found her to be a supportive team player collaborating with my creative team providing effective headlines and copy that facilitated the success of our speculative ads. Diane is a result driven and loyal perfectionist but also an inspiring professional that would be a wonderful addition to any organization needing a person with her expertise.
