You need to know
Our Local News Now (LNN) newsroom is getting a little larger. ALXnow’s mothership ARLnow announced today that it has acquired the GazetteLeader, a print publication in Arlington.
GazetteLeader editor Scott McCaffrey and sports editor Dave Facinoli will join LNN’s editorial team for ARLnow and FFXnow.
The Gazette Leader launched last year after the shuttering of the Sun Gazette with the defunct paper’s entire staff joining the new publication.
“Scott McCaffrey is a force of nature in Arlington and has been a formidable competitor for local scoops since ARLnow’s launch in 2010,” said Scott Brodbeck, founder and CEO of Local News Now. “It’s great to now have him and Dave Facinoli on our team while we work to increase the breadth and depth of our local journalism.”
