Change is never easy, but sometimes it’s exactly what a newsroom needs to grow, evolve and step into its next chapter. That time is now for the North Coast Journal.
We’re both proud and a little heartbroken to announce that our esteemed news editor Thadeus Greenson is leaving his post to join the nonprofit First Amendment Coalition, where he’ll continue working with journalists throughout the state, providing support and education to further government transparency. His commitment to truth and accountability has been a guiding force at the Journal, and while we’ll miss his daily presence, we’re thrilled that his voice will now echo even further. Thankfully, this isn’t goodbye. Thad will remain in Humboldt County and, hopefully, contribute his reporting to the Journal on a freelance basis moving forward.
With change comes opportunity, and we’re thrilled to announce Jennifer Fumiko-Cahill as our new managing editor. Jenn brings heart, wit, strong editorial instincts and a sharp eye for storytelling that resonates across Humboldt County. She’s more than ready to steer the ship into our next era.
Kim Wear returns in her new role as assistant editor. Formerly the Journal’s digital editor, Kim brings her keen editing skills, steady presence and decades of experience in Humboldt County newsrooms to our pages once again.
Please join us in congratulating Thad, Jenn and Kim on their new roles.
