Joan Concilio’s Summary

I am an editor and supervisor with 10 years of experience in community journalism, social media and streamlined content management.

I enjoy doing my job well, but even more rewarding is the chance to create efficiencies that make our newsroom's daily tasks go more quickly and easily.

I'm especially proud of some new ventures I've spearheaded, like the publication of a hardcover book, the creation of our online community message boards and the re-envisioning of our news Web site.

I love what I do. I help my coworkers succeed and I help my community share its stories. What could be better?
