Pilot names new city editor

Former Daily Pilot education reporter Danette Goulet has been named

the paper’s new city editor.

Goulet has been city editor of one of the Pilot’s sister papers,

the Huntington Beach 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.”

Among the stories Goulet covered at the Pilot were the Measure A

campaign and the Newport-Mesa Unified School Board’s discussions of

its zero-tolerance policy.

Before starting at the Pilot in October 1999, Goulet 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.
