Reporter Editor Ambrose Clancy said the staff was happy to welcome Ms. Brennan to the newsroom.

“We all feel especially lucky to have Julia on board,” Mr. Clancy said. “She brings strong newspaper skills, a bright, engaging personality and a solidly professional manner that will be great assets in continuing to produce the Island’s award-winning newspaper of record.”
