Gazette editorials reflect the consensus opinion of the editorial board. The editorial board currently includes executive editor Zack Kucharski, manager of brand initiatives Quinn Pettifer and Insight editor Todd Dorman.
The board meets weekly to discuss editorial topics and also meets with individuals and groups providing information to inform our editorial stances. Although Gazette news coverage informs our consensus editorial viewpoints, news coverage is not influenced by opinions expressed by the editorial board. Read more about our editorial process here.
