After nearly 40 years at the Vermont Community Newspaper Group, Greg Popa is retiring from the newspapers at the end of the year.
For the past 12 years, Greg has served as publisher and editor of the newspaper company, which includes five newspapers — The Stowe Reporter, News and Citizen, Shelburne News, The Citizen and The Other Paper of South Burlington — and their associated websites, Stowe Weddings, and Stowe magazine.
Greg will continue to edit and publish Stowe magazine. Tommy Gardner, the current news editor, will replace Greg as editor of Vermont Community Newspaper Group’s five community weeklies.
During his tenure as publisher, he oversaw the acquisition of the News & Citizen and the three weeklies in Chittenden County. He was inducted into the New England Newspaper and Press Association Hall of Fame in 2022.
