InMaricopa has a new associate publisher. Bob McGovern comes to Maricopa from Pennsylvania, where he has worked as a writer, editor, producer and executive editor.
He was drawn to the West after taking a trip to Yosemite a couple of years ago and was struck by the “gorgeous scenery” that was very different from the East Coast.
With a bachelor’s degree from the University of Scranton, he worked in newsrooms in Hatboro and Pottstown, Pennsylvania, before working as a copy editor in St. Petersburg, Florida. He then returned to Pennsylvania to work in Philadelphia media, including the Inquirer, Philly.com and PhillyVoice.com.
McGovern brings 30 years of experience in journalism, with an emphasis in digital media and hyper-local journalism. In visiting Maricopa, he said he was struck by the similarities of the community to his Pennsylvania residence.
“I look forward to getting to know the people in the community and our customers,” he said.
