You've been coming to Davis Patch since we launched to get unique, quality reporting, engaging stories and video, and a place to connect and converse with your community. Now there is a bigger team devoted to Davis Patch.
Cody Kitaura, Joshua Staab and Justin Cox have been local editors with Patch since 2010 and 2011, cultivating and nurturing sites in Dixon, Davis, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, Elk Grove and Rosemont. Along with others in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and Solano counties, the three editors have worked with their fellow Patch editorial teams in a number of capacities, covering myriad news beats and developing thoughtful and engaging content. In short, this is not their first rodeo.
Together, this team of journalists hopes to bring the same caliber of content readers have grown to expect from their respective sites and more. They'll be joined by Associate Regional Editor Genevieve Bookwalter, who brings years of experience and wisdom, and Community Editor Eve Pearlman, who was the local editor of Alameda Patch.
So let us take a minute to catch readers up to speed.
