Mick Colageo is retiring from his position as news editor effective October 1 to pursue opportunities core to his career prior to joining The Wanderer in February 2020.
“As a career sportswriter, I’m grateful for this unique opportunity given me by Lopes family,” said Colageo in his statement. “Learning how municipal government works and about the many talented residents so committed to their communities has been like free, graduate education and, on a broader scale, a revelation. I will always feel connected to and care about what happens in Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester as a result. A special thanks to reporter Marilou Newell for showing me the soul of this work and to all the elected officials, employees and stakeholders who in their own ways have devoted time to our cause and ultimately helped maintain The Wanderer’s standard as the last word on local news.”
We are always looking for members of the community to work with from reporters and photographers to copy editors and columnists. If you would like to work with us, please contact us at support@wanderer.com to talk opportunities.
