I won’t bury the lede on this one as of New Year’s Day I will no longer be working for the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
As hard as that was to write, it was equally as hard of a decision to make. When I graduated from college in 2002 I found a job at 115 Conz St. That job turned into a home over the past 18-plus years, and when you find a home it’s hard to leave, regardless of the circumstances.
But the past year hasn’t been easy and leaving became that little thought that never quite went away. Up until two weeks ago, this wasn’t the case. Staff writer Kyle Grabowski and I were making plans for UMass coverage and preparing for the start of the winter high school season. Like everything during the pandemic though, situations change quickly, and this was no exception. The newspaper needed to make changes so I took the offer on the table.
