The Desert Sun in Palm Springs, California, has gained two new staff members: Nicole Kottmann as features editor and Andy Abeyta as a photojournalist.
Kottmann, who goes by Niki, comes to the desert from Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she served as the features editor for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle for two years. There, she managed all content published in the newspaper’s weekend ToDo and Journey sections and wrote weekly stories, among many other roles.
Abeyta joins The Desert Sun's photography team after working as a visual journalist for The Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he photographed daily assignments for all sections of the newspaper.
