Independent city editor adds duties

Huntington Beach Independent City Editor Danette Goulet has been

named city editor of one of the paper’s sister publications, the

Daily Pilot. She will remain city editor of the Independent, as well.

Goulet has been city editor of the Independent for two years.

Under her watch, the paper has won eight statewide journalism awards.

Among those awards was one for an environmental story Goulet wrote.

“Danette is an excellent journalist and will be great Pilot city

editor,” Pilot Editor Tony Dodero said. “I look forward to her

continued leadership of both of these papers.”

Goulet started at the Pilot in October 1999 and was its education

reporter for two years. Before that, she was a reporter at the Boca

Raton (Fla.) News, covering a number of beats and writing a weekly

column.

A native of Concord, Mass., Goulet graduated from Sacred Heart

University in Fairfield, Conn. with a degree in English and

communications.

As city editor, Goulet will be responsible for managing the

reporting staffs of both papers. She will continue to write a weekly

column for the Independent.

Goulet will report to Managing Editor S.J. Cahn and Dodero. She

will begin her new position on Monday.
