“I’d like to thank the Examiner team led by Managing Director Schuyler Hudak Prionas whose steady and inspiring leadership has helped the Examiner organization look to the future with optimism … and my fellow editorial council members Marcus White , Jessica Wolfrom & Adam Shanks with whom I had the privilege of helping lead the Examiner newsroom during a challenging period.
