Subscribers are invited to get to know newspaper's managing editor at virtual event

Posted

As part of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's All Access webinar series for subscribers, subscribers will have the chance to virtually get to know Managing Editor Eliza Gaines during a virtual talk on April 20.

In addition to answering questions from readers, she will talk about upcoming newsroom initiatives and what it has been like to take on a new role during a pandemic. Gaines took on the role just one day before the newsroom began working remotely, after the first COVID-19 case was reported in Arkansas.

Gaines, a Little Rock native, is the fourth generation of her family to be in the newspaper business.

She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she received a B.A. in English, and an M.A. in Mass Communication, with a focus on business and media.
