We’re all happy to welcome Grant Scott-Goforth, an Arcata native who will be writing, editing, comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable along with the rest of us here at the North Coast Journal.
You might recognize his byline from the Times-Standard (sorry, Kimberly Wear, but hat tip for spotting and growing local talent).
Grant graduated from Humboldt State University in 2011 with a degree in journalism. He’s coming aboard with the title of staff writer/assistant editor, and he’ll be helping with the production end of getting the paper out each week, along with writing insightful news and feature articles. You can reach him at grant@northcoastjournal.com.

All the best wishes for Grant.
NCJ gains an asset.
The Times-Standard’s loss is NCJ’s gain.
Congratulations, Grant!
Bring back Sims, or the editor that got fired before Sims, he was good – Abate.
Congrats to Grant!
Fired from the TS? Sounds fishy to me. I hear there is a lot of drug and alcohol use there.
We’re proud!
Sooo proud of you, you’re the best!
