Washington, DC – FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein announced today that Katie 
Yocum has joined his staff. She serves as Confidential Assistant and Director of Outreach. 
As Commissioner Adelstein's Confidential Assistant, Yocum will be responsible for coordinating 
all aspects of the Commissioner’s schedule.  In her role as Director of Outreach, she will manage 
the office's interaction with a wide and diverse group of organizations, governments, individuals,

telecommunications and media marketplace. She will also serve as the office’s primary contact 
for general media and press inquiries.
Commissioner Adelstein said “I am very pleased that Katie has agreed to join our staff.  Her 
work with the media reform movement makes her uniquely qualified to handle a dual role in our 
office.  As our Director of Outreach, Katie will take a lead role in ensuring that our office is well 
connected with those groups and individuals who are interested and affected by the work of the 
Commission.  I also want to thank Tajuana Dill for her leadership and outstanding help during 
this transition period.  Tajuana is an invaluable member of our team, and I always appreciate her 
positive spirit and can-do attitude.”
Prior to joining the Commission, Yocum worked as the Campaign Coordinator for the Media and 
Democracy Coalition, a national coalition of nonprofit organizations committed to amplifying 
the voices of the public in shaping media and telecommunications policy. She graduated from 
the University of Illinois Institute for Communications Research with a B.A. in Media Studies.
