Newly hired OC Register economy reporter Margot Roosevelt (pictured) has declared that she is “excited to join one of the most dynamic newspapers in the country right now.” She’s right on the money about that.
As we and others have been chronicling this summer and fall, the paper is on a mission to prove there are still ways in this day and age of Gawker, BuzzFeed and the front page of Yahoo! to make a daily print newspaper profitably thrive. What’s so great about the hire of Roosevelt, previously with Reuters and the LA Times as an environment reporter from 2007 to 2011, is that she is the kind of massively experienced journalist (30+ years) who typically falls to the wayside in today’s print media landscape. She will no doubt be a dynamic contributor to the paper’s recently expanded business section.
Also joining the OC Register from the LA Times is Joanna Clay. Most recently a reporter and assistant Web editor for LA Times Community News publication the Coastline Pilot, her beat will remain Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel and occasionally Aliso Viejo.
