MARY FORD

“Under Mary’s guidance The Hingham Journal and Cohasset Mariner have developed into two of the top weekly publications and websites in eastern Massachusetts. The number of employees and columnists Mary has guided through their journalism careers is a true testament to her love for the media business.”

“Mary helped me grow as a writer, but more importantly, as a human being. She taught me through her example that when you choose to see the best in someone and cultivate that part of them, you help them grow in that direction. Whether she realized it or not, she has been my most consistent role model.” More >>

Sorry for being the bane of your existence at deadline.”
