Hahn will be responsible for marketing, branding, public relations and web for the university, effective March 5.

Hahn is host and producer of “Idaho Reports.” He also has moderated primary and general election debates for statewide contested races and written and produced for “Outdoor Idaho.” Before joining Idaho PTV, Hahn worked at the Idaho Statesman for 12 years, most recently as local news editor and as political and special projects reporter.
