Dava Zucker

Newspaper Editor

Dava Zucker

I am:  inquisitive, perceptive, principled

What I do:  I am the Editor of the Jackson Hole Daily.  It is my job to produce a daily newspaper:  determine content, budget stories and manage/cultivate reporters, copy editors, assistant editors, salespeople, artists, production and creative services staff.  Each day is new and challenging!

My “career path”:
  I took a circuitous path to my career.  My schooling and training was as a psychologist, but the work left me restive and unsatisfied.  My current position came quite by accident:  I became friendly with the publisher and editor of a new free daily newspaper.  After many conversations, I was asked to join the team, and the rest as they say is history.

My favorite things outside of work:
Walking, biking, cross country skiing  and the like, getting together with friends, reading, listening to music, volunteering for various organizations.

Tips for a successful girlfuture:

Be proud that you are the eyes and ears for your community.

Be forward thinking.
