Independent’s Goulet, Cahn promoted to new spots

Returning the newsroom to a more traditional management structure,

Huntington Beach Independent Editor Tony Dodero on Tuesday announced two

promotions at the paper. Assistant City Editor Danette Goulet will handle

supervision of the reporting staff as city editor and Senior City Editor

S.J. Cahn becomes managing editor.

Goulet, who started with Times Community News in October 1999, became

assistant city editor at the Independent last summer. She is a graduate

of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn.

“Danette has done a tremendous job as acting city editor of the

Independent and has helped guide paper through a tough time of budget

cuts and changes in format,” Dodero said.

As managing editor, Cahn will oversee the reporting, features and

photo desks at the paper. He joined the Independent’s sister paper, the

Daily Pilot, nearly three years ago and was named senior city editor of

both papers last June. A graduate of the Missouri School of Journalism,

he also will be managing editor of the Pilot.
