Managing Editor Barbara Gref has twenty-one years in the newspaper
industry to her credit. The former assistant managing editor of The Times
Herald-Record, she brings a unique perspective to reporting in
Sullivan County. Associate Managing Editor Van K. Morrow is a
computer wiz who has run a very successful business services company –
Type Right, Inc. – for more than two decades. In addition to reporting
tasks, Van makes sure that each issue of the Crier is as error
free as possible. Editor Leni Santoro started at the Crier in
2004 as a freelancer. She holds a degree in design and photography. In
early 2007, she took the leap to become one of the key staffers involved
in shaping the paper. Ely White joined the paper as copy editor
in January of 2006. She holds a degree from New York University in that
skill, and brings many others to the Crier. She often also brings her
Pembroke Welsh Corgi (a/k/a Dale) to the office; he's a former
show dog, and now a news hound., and he has become Art Director Rosalie Mycka moved in 2002 to Sullivan County from New York City, where she was Art Director for numerous magazines and other publications. Jason Dole, our assistant editor, grew up in Sullivan County and knows its ins-and-outs well. An experienced radio producer with WJFF FM, Jason also writes a music review column for the Crier. Carolyn Bivins is the paper's founder, having started the Crier in 1990. She bails us out with design and ad work from week to week and is a real moral support too – and quite the cook! |
