MILLERTON — Krista A. Briggs has joined The News as Managing Editor.

Briggs, who lives in Cold Spring, is a journalist with a broad background that ranges from news and feature writing to managing transcription and translation projects for legal and municipal clients.

Briggs graduated from Long Island University — Post with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, and holds a Master of Science in Special Education from Dowling College.

The News is pleased to welcome Briggs, which has been focused on building newsroom strength since Covid days.

“I’m very pleased to have joined the creative and dedicated staff at the Millerton News,” said Briggs. “I’m really looking forward to partnering with the Millerton community and its surrounding areas to produce a newspaper we can all be proud to call our own.”

James H. Clark, chief executive officer and publisher of LJMN Media, the nonprofit that publishes The Millerton News and The Lakeville Journal, said, “Krista is a welcome addition to our growing newsroom, particularly at this point where we seek to broaden and deepen coverage of our communities.”
