Making a list and checking it twice?
Tribune’s Life & Entertainment Staff Changes
When I first started out in TV, my first job was as part-time receptionist. And half the calls were to verify contact info and names for reporters and anchors and the assignment desk. I can only imagine how challenging it is to work for Finder Binder and keep up with the constant changes.
If you are making a (media) list…and checking it twice (updating), make sure to note this contact info and some changes with the Life and Entertainment Staff at the East Valley Tribune.
(Thanks to Sam Mittlesteadt for taking the time to help us out – looks like he’s gonna be on the “Nice List”).
Jess Harter: Covers restaurant news (and reviews) in the East Valley and Scottsdale. jharter@evtrib.com or (480) 898-5690
Kelly Wilson: Covers nightlife, clubs, comedy, pop culture and other go-and-do events, especially for Get Out. kwilson@evtrib.com or (480) 898-5691
Chris Orf: National touring acts and local music. corf@evtrib.com or (480) 898-5684
Chris Page: Local theater. cpage@evtrib.com or (480) 898-5656
Martin Cizmar and Shanna Hogan: Both general-assignment reporters who cover all topics of lifestyle and entertainment, depending on the day. Cizmar: mcizmar@evtrib.com and (480) 898-5695. Hogan: shogan@evtrib.com and (480) 898-6531.
Frances Marlow: Compiles all sorts of event calendars for Get Out and the daily newspaper. She should be copied on pretty much anything, just in case. fmarlow@evtrib.com or (480) 898-6427.
Michael Grady: Also a general assignment reporter, and our weekly columnist. mgrady@evtrib.com or (480) 898-6572
Sam Mittelsteadt: Technically, “lifestyle editor,” so many pitches that might not fit into any specific categories can be directed his way. He still kept the fashion/style/beauty beat, too. smittelsteadt@evtrib.com or (480) 898-6819.
Note: feature reporter Marija Potkonjak’s last day is Dec. 28 – she’s moving to Milwaukee. Her position, when filled, will likely be another general-assignment writing job that covers lifestyle and entertainment.
The ultimate arbiter of what is/isn’t a features article is – Cheryl Kushner, assistant managing editor/features. ckushner@evtrib.com or (480) 898-6498.
