Newark's New Editor Knows This Town Well

Patch is pleased to announce that will take over as Editor of Newark Patch on Monday.

 Megino is best described as a homegrown journalist. She was raised in Newark and attended local schools through high school before leaving to pursue a degree in journalism and government at Sacramento State University, where she was managing editor of the school newspaper and an editorial assistant at the Sacramento Bee.

 She spent a year as a fulltime education reporter at the Fairfield Republic before returning to the East Bay, where she’s been a Patch freelance writer and occasional site guest editor for the past eight months.

 Her knowledge of the community will be a key asset as she takes on her new role, and she’s excited about joining our team.

 You can reach Megino at nika.megino@patch.com or call her at 510-207-9998. Please contact her with your questions, comments or story ideas.
