Good is returning to work for the media group that owns the Valley News, where Good served as editor before joining Seven Days. He will become executive editor of four newspapers in western Massachusetts: the Daily Hampshire Gazette, the Recorder, the Amherst Bulletin and the Valley Advocate, according to Seven Days columnist Paul Heintz.
“The job I found myself doing at Seven Days was a lot like the one I did 13 years ago as a news editor learning how to juggle story assignments,” Good is quoted as telling Heintz. “At this point in my career, I’m most interested in going deep, working on big-picture management and writing projects. That’s what this new job offers.”
Seven Days publisher and co-editor Paula Routly did not return a call seeking comment on Good’s departure.
Good, a Saint Michael's College graduate, won the Pulitzer for The St Petersburg (FL) Times in 1995 for his editorial campaign urging reform of Florida's probate system for settling estates.
