Local journalism is back. The newspaper is back. Our community is informed. Democracy is strengthened. We would be remise if we did not thank the many who made this possible.
Mostly importantly, thank you to Troy McQuillen, our Publisher, for taking a chance on Watertown. I know Watertown will reciprocate your confidence in our community. Thank you also to Joel Vockrodt and Brad Johnson for be the catalyst that brought this need to Troy’s attention.
Thank you to Roger Whittle and Jen Pendley as well for joining our team. Your commitment to local journalism and the community of Watertown is unmatched. Your presence and your talent add validity to this dog-and-pony show.
The Current owes a debt of gratitude to many of our former colleagues from “that other Gannett publication.” Thank you to Mark Roby, Chris Carter, Greg Dosch, Lana Holland and so many others for your guidance and advice as we embark on this adventure. I hope can live up to excellent tradition of local journalism you all helped build.
