SOE appoints Slagle as PR manager

Will work directly with SOE's Austin studio

Sony Online Entertainment has appointed Matt Slagle to the newly-created role of public relations manager.

As the national technology and business reporter for The Associated Press, Slagle covered industry features, financial and product news for Fortune 500 technology companies.

More recently, he led the AP's national videogame coverage, including reviews and industry features.

"Having immersed himself with the players and people of video games, Matt brings to SOE an unparalleled understanding of the industry's business and consumers," said Courtney Simmons, SOE's senior director of corporate communications.

"His valuable perspective and experience will undoubtedly serve us in launching one of SOE Austin's most important franchises in the DC Comics product. We look forward to much success together."

Slagle will work directly with SOE Austin, the studio responsible for Star Wars Galaxies as well as the upcoming DC Universe MMO.
