Ziegler
WHEELING — For 41 years, Heather Ziegler spent her days — and more often than not, her nights — reporting on the latest news and happenings in the Ohio Valley.
Today, as her column on the front of the Life section indicates, she brings to an end her full-time career as a community newspaper reporter and editor.
Ziegler will continue to write a weekly column that will appear in the Sunday News-Register, but her time mentoring young reporters and serving as the newsroom’s in-house ambassador to the public has come to its end.
“There is no other job that I’m aware of that would have allowed me to work with the caliber of people I have to this day, to meet the hundreds of people who have entrusted my words or to establish friendships in so many areas of this community,” she said.
