IBerkshires Names Managing Editor - August 07, 2007
NORTH ADAMS -- IBerkshires.com has named a new managing editor as part of its plans to expand coverage of the Berkshires.
Tammy Daniels, former managing editor of the North Adams Transcript and city native, joined the community and news Web site on Monday.
“I’m very excited about Ms. Daniels joining our team,” said Osmin A. Alvarez, president and chief operating officer of Boxcar Media Inc., parent company of iBerkshires. “Her experience and Berkshire background will help bring iBerkshires to the next level.”
IBerkshires, established in 2000, has about 50,000 visitors a month. IBerkshires has grown dramatically over the last few years, said Alvarez.
“The Internet is revolutionizing the way we communicate as much as print and television did in the past. I see joining iBerkshires as both a professional challenge and as a way to be on the cutting edge of journalism,” said Daniels. “I look forward to helping iBerkshires grow.”
IBerkshires is committed to keeping the Berkshire community informed of local news and events. “I want to hear from our readers about local happenings, and what they would like to see on our site,” she said. “They are the true measure of our success.”
Daniels worked for New England Newspapers Inc., a division of MediaNews Group, for about 10 years. She was a page composer and later education writer and part-time editor at the Bennington (Vt.) Banner, until joining The Berkshire Eagle in Pittsfield as a copy editor. After five years there, she was named managing editor at the Transcript, where she oversaw the paper’s front-page layout and editing among other duties.
“After 10 years in print journalism, moving to an Internet site is quite a challenge,” said Daniels. “But good journalism doesn’t depend on the medium – it depends on the passion and commitment of an organization’s reporters and staff.”
A native of North Adams, Daniels is a 1977 graduate of Drury High School and a graduate of North Adams State College, now Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. She lives in Stamford, Vt., with her husband and two sons.
