We wanted to introduce our new editors in a more casual, fun, personal way via video and audio, so you can become familiar with these faces.
You might be working with them on a story about your company soon.
Tom Karst, editor of The Packer, and Amy Sowder, retail editor of The Packer and editor of PMG, grill (just kidding) Melissa Treolo copy editor and content coordinator and Ed Boling, West Coast editor.
Based in Kansas, Treolo comes from a newspaper background, having worked as a reporter, copy editor, designer and more. Based in California, Boling has a background in agriculture and media, including sales.
Then there's the Global Organic Produce Expo Jan. 31-Feb. 2 in Hollywood, Fla. We detail what sessions there will be, plus the '80s cover band and more.
And then, we get into some of the news of the week: produce and staff shortages at retailers. We delve into the how and why. Spoiler alert: It's complicated.
