Albuquerque biz reporter becomes entertainment editor

Rozanna Martinez

Rozanna Martinez, who rejoined the Albuquerque Journal as a business reporter earlier this year, is the newspaper’s new entertainment editor.

She returned to the paper in January after a stint as the editor-in-chief of Albuquerque the Magazine. Before joining the staff earlier this year, she worked as a freelancer for the Journal.

Patrick Ethridge, the Journal’s editor, pointed to Martinez’s “years of experience in the arts and entertainment industry” as a reason for her appointment as entertainment editor.

“Her outgoing personality and her unparalleled work ethic leave me confident that we will continue to be the regional leader when it comes to coverage of arts and entertainment,” Ethridge said. “New Mexico’s entertainment arts and entertainment community is like none other in the world, and Rozanna’s deep understanding of the area’s rich cultural history and the pride in that diversity is something that Journal readers are sure to notice and enjoy.”
