Seven Days has hired Valley News editor Jeff Good to lead its news team, the Burlington-based media company announced late Thursday.
Good, who won a Pulitzer Prize in editorial writing, will serve as Seven Days‘ co-editor in charge of news content. He replaces former news editor Andy Bromage, who left the paper in July to return to his native Connecticut.
Born in Missouri and raised all over the Midwest, Good first moved to Vermont to attend St. Michael’s College — and despite a few detours over the years, he says he hasn’t been able to quit the state.
Good started his journalism career as an intern at the Vermont Vanguard Press and worked as a writer and editor for Ralph Nader in Washington, D.C. He went on to spend 12 years at Florida’s St. Petersburg Times, where he won the 1995 Pulitzer for a series on state probate courts. He returned to Vermont in 1996 to serve as the Burlington Free Press‘ capital bureau chief. Good left the Freeps in 1999 to teach journalism and serve as college historian at his alma mater. In 2000 he joined the Lebanon, N.H.-based Valley News and worked his way up from capital bureau chief to news editor, managing editor and editor.
