Salem Media Group promotes VP/Local Digital Jamie Cohen to Vice President of Broadcast Digital. In 2018, Cohen was responsible for expanding Salem's digital sales program at the local level with the launch of Salem Surround and will now be overseeing all aspects of the broadcast division's digital initiatives. In his new, expanded role, Cohen will lead Salem's new audio and video digital content offerings and other digital initiatives. In addition, Cohen will be overseeing and guiding digital operations, content accessibility and distribution.

He joined Salem in January, 2108 from USA Today Network, where he oversaw Digital sales and development efforts in a number of regions. Prior to that, Cohen worked for the Chicago Sun-Times and Journal Media Group, where, in both cases, he was responsible for building the infrastructure for their digital sales operations. He's also spent three years at ReachLocal leading multiple sales teams in the mid-west.

"I'm honored to be able to continue contributing to Salem's expansion into greater levels of digital content strategy," said Cohen. "With the launch of Salem Surround, we have really taken tremendous strides in strengthening our digital strategies as a company, and I'm excited to help expand even further."

"In the 15 months Jamie has worked for Salem building our digital sales model, he has proven to have a depth of understanding that goes far beyond sales," added Salem President of Broadcast Media Dave Santrella. "I am confident that we will see our digital efforts in the broadcast division grow and thrive under Jamie's leadership."
