Editors Notebook
Stephanie has been with the Mountain Home News since September of 2017. In May of 2018 she was promoted to Managing Editor of the Mountain Home News and our Mountain Home Patriot. She is married and a mom which explains a lot of her blogs, but is also passionate about her community. Being a ranch grown Idahoan you will see her rural nature infused in her writing. Her blog pieces are sometimes very whimsical and funny to read, but she is not shy about sharing the personal side of her world. Sometimes it is more local, state or national trending. I never really know where she is going to take me and the readers weekly. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Editors have available to them that one piece each week that is an opinion piece, all things Stephanie and not news, but something that I hope you look forward to . She is very open to her readers and never hesitate to reach out.
