Andrew Martins
Andrew Martins has been named the managing editor of the Hillsborough Beacon. He begins his new role with this week’s edition of the Beacon.
“We are pleased to welcome Andrew Martins to Hillsborough and central New Jersey to continue his journalism career,” said Aubrey Huston, editor of Packet Media, the Beacon’s parent company. “We look forward to continuing the fine work that Gene Robbins did as managing editor.”
Mr. Robbins decided to step down to “recharge, explore and reassess before embarking on the next adventure.”
Mr. Martins, who will also be managing editor of the Hopewell Valley News, was most recently a staff reporter for the Greater Media Newspapers in Manalapan, for the past five years. He earned several New Jersey Press Association awards for his reporting and writing during his time at Greater Media.
He has also worked for the Jackson Times and Toms River Patch as well as having been a news intern at the New York Daily News.
He is a graduate of Ramapo College and was news editor of The Ramapo News, the college’s weekly newspaper, for two years.
