The next Tuesdays in the Newsroom event will feature four Vineyard Gazette alumni who have gone on to journalism careers in New York City.
The event takes place on Tuesday, Nov. 17, beginning at 6 p.m. It features Remy Tumin and Maia Coleman (New York Times), Diego Lasarte (New Yorker) and Holly Pretsky (Hell Gate).
Tuesdays in the Newsroom is a regular off-season event, where the community is invited into the newsroom for discussions on a wide variety of topics. The alumni edition will have a slightly different format in that the speakers will be appearing via Zoom, due to their busy schedules in New York.
Remy Tumin got her start as an intern at the Gazette and then become a reporter right after college. She is a general assignment reporter at the New York Times writing about breaking news, arts features and profiles.
Maia Coleman also got her start at the Gazette, first as an intern and then as a reporter during the beginning of the Covid pandemic. She covers the metropolitan beat at the New York Times.
Diego Lasarte interned at the Gazette just after graduating from college. Following a stint at Bloomberg News he began working for the New Yorker, where he is now an assistant editor.
Holly Pretsky came to the Gazette after working for NPR. After her time at the Gazette she moved to New York to become the managing editor for City & State New York. Recently she became an editor at Hell Gate, a worker-owned news outlet that focuses on New York City issues.
