Glenny Brock

Glenny Brock (born December 31, 1976 in Birmingham) was the editor of Birmingham Weekly from 2002 to 2010.

Brock is a 1995 graduate of John Carroll Catholic High School and completed her undergraduate degree at Birmingham-Southern College in 1999. While there she worked for editor Kyle Whitmire on the campus paper, the Hilltop News. After graduating she freelanced, contributing to the Birmingham Weekly among other outlets. In December 2000 she joined the staff full time and was promoted to editor in August 2002.

As editor, Brock recruited Whitmire to work for her, resulting in "War on Dumb", an award-winning political column that became a hallmark of the alternative weekly.

Brock completed a master of fine arts in creative writing from Louisville, Kentucky's Spalding University in 2007.

Brock and publisher Chuck Leishman "mutually agreed" to end her tenure with the paper in March 2010.
