Ronnie Gill’s Summary

During my tenure at Newsday, I have had extensive experience in management, editing, writing and layout.

I have managed the staff that produced the weekly television supplement, edited everything from business to fashion copy, and have been responsible for creating and implementing layouts for a number of features and business sections, including the weekly travel, food, real estate and automotive sections, as well as the annual Fun Book.

My duties have required that I interface not only with colleagues in the editorial, production, marketing and advertising departments, but also with celebrities, publicists, photo editors and outside vendors.

I excel at detail work, meeting deadlines and troubleshooting problems. I've trained new employees and assist colleagues with more limited PC skills.

I have written stories for a number of different editors and sections, with subject matter ranging from television, pop culture and technology to travel, books and getting married.

I am both familiar and extremely comfortable with current technology, possessing both computer and online skills. I've designed, created and maintained my own blog.
