The Neighborhood Gazette
Meet the people behind the stories.
Every great community has stories worth telling. At the Neighborhood Gazette, we believe journalism begins by listening.
Our editorial team is made up of storytellers, photographers, researchers, and community writers dedicated to discovering the people, businesses, history, sports, and events that make our neighborhoods unique.
Whether we're covering a grand opening, a championship game, a local charity, or a business owner's lifelong dream — every story begins with one simple question:
How does this make our community stronger?
"We don't build the Gazette to sell advertising. We sell advertising so we can build stronger communities."
Editorial Staff
These aren't titles on an org chart. These are the people who show up to ribbon cuttings, sit in the bleachers, walk the Main Streets, and ask the questions that turn into the stories South Jersey reads. Every byline is a neighbor.
"Every great community has a story."
Max spends his days walking Main Streets, sitting in coffee shops, and talking with the business owners and neighbors who quietly make our communities better. His notebook is never far away — because every day brings another story worth preserving.
"Sports don't just build athletes. They build communities."
Jake covers everything from Little League opening day to Phillies prospects, Flyers hockey, and local championships — believing that some of life's greatest lessons are learned on neighborhood fields and local rinks.
"Championships unite cities. Sports unite neighbors."
Samuel covers Philadelphia football and basketball while highlighting local athletes, coaches, and the communities that rally behind them. He grew up in Camden watching the Sixers and never stopped believing South Jersey deserved the best sports coverage in the region.
"Every performance begins with someone willing to dream."
Jenna shines a spotlight on local artists, musicians, performers, festivals, and cultural events that bring life and creativity to our towns. She's been to more community theater openings than anyone on staff — and she's not apologizing for it.
"Great stories don't always begin in Hollywood. Sometimes they begin on your own street."
Vinny covers filmmakers, musicians, actors, and creators whose work is shaping the future of entertainment from right here in our communities. He still believes the best concert he ever saw was in a South Jersey parking lot in 2003.
"Technology should connect people, not replace them."
Ethan helps readers understand AI, emerging technology, cybersecurity, and the tools that are changing everyday life and small business. He explains the complex in plain language — because South Jersey deserves to understand the future that's already here.
"An informed community is a stronger community."
Grace reports on town councils, school boards, public meetings, and civic issues — focusing on clear, factual reporting that helps readers understand how local decisions affect their lives. She has never missed a public meeting in four years.
"History isn't behind us. It's beneath our feet."
Henry explores the stories of the people, places, and moments that shaped South Jersey and the communities we call home. He believes every old building has a story and every old-timer has a chapter that belongs in print.
"Strong communities begin with strong families."
Emma highlights schools, teachers, volunteers, nonprofits, neighborhood organizations, and everyday people making extraordinary contributions. She knows the name of every crossing guard on her block and she considers that a professional qualification.
"Every great meal begins with a local story."
Sophia explores the restaurants, cafés, wineries, bakeries, and hidden gems that give every South Jersey town its own flavor. She will never write about a restaurant she hasn't eaten at twice — once to understand it, once to make sure.
"Every successful company began as someone's dream."
Mason tells the stories of entrepreneurs, startups, family businesses, and local leaders creating opportunity throughout the region. He believes South Jersey's real economy runs on handshakes, not hashtags — and he's been writing about it for years.
The Work
In the Field
"The story isn't in the office. It's out there — in the parking lots, on the sidewalks, at the ribbon cuttings no one else shows up to cover."
On the Beat
"South Jersey fans deserve coverage that understands what this team means to this community. That's not a job. That's a responsibility."
Our newsroom runs on community tips. A business opening. A neighborhood hero. A local team nobody's covering. Tell us — we read every submission.
