To say that Donna has earned her stripes here at GMG would be an understatement. She is our girl on the street. Everyone on our team has different talents.
What I consider Donnas big time strength is her love of people and being involved hands on at local events. This love often finds her smack dab in the middle of the action and more times than possibly anyone else this year she has brought us the photos live from breaking events.
I can’t stress how critical this is for us. We pride ourselves on bringing you Gloucester events first and best. We certainly have very talented photographers which serves big time importance to the blog as well but it’s nice to have both timeliness and quality!
If someone takes photographs at a sporting event and it takes them two weeks to edit them because they don’t want to release anything until they are 100% technically correct and edited we may as well forget about it as it’s old news.
Please welcome good egg Donna Ardizzoni, OUR GIRL ON THE STREET TO THE OFFICIAL GMG STAFF!
Donna just yesterday was authorized with posting privileges after sending in photos to me for a couple years!

Congrats on all the hard work. Finding the pulse, being at the right place at the right time, and reporting it in short order is not an easy task, but so much fun if you find the sweet spot.

Congratulations Donna, welcome to the press room. You know what they say, “power corrupts” so be careful or the boss starts throwing fish racks around. And you’ll find out, Sharon has the real password. All of us poor reporters down here in the press pit have to spend our days making her happy. (Did you ever wonder why I had a dog bite in my duck butt?)
ps. Stay away from the cage in the corner marked P. Walnuts. Long story, something about not getting Sharon’s coffee fast enough …
