Born and raised in South Jersey, Christina Paciolla graduated from Rowan in 2005 and is currently news editor for Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey at the Associated Press, where she started working in 2015 as a desk editor. Her career path is born of a genuine love and admiration for journalism, and she and I had a really wonderful conversation that covered many different topics. From talking about her work as an AP editor, to what it was like observing the Capital Riots of January 6, the frightening and saddening experience of being a journalist in the early days of the pandemic, our shared love of longform magazine writing, and a super cool recollection of she and her fellow Whit staffers holding a vigil at Rowan the day Hunter S. Thompson died. Christina is so thoughtful and passionate about her work, and it was a real privilege to share that with her during our time.
