vermontpressconnections has learned (see notice below) that Thatcher Moats, the City of Montpelier beat reporter for the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, has been hired to fill one of the two open slots at the Vermont Press Bureau, which covers state government for the Rutland Herald and Times Argus.
Mr. Moats is the son of Pulitzer Prize winner and Rutland Herald editorial page editor David Moats, according to his 2008 wedding announcement in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/fashion/weddings/30duerr.html?_r=1
Press Bureau staff change
As many of you know, we've been looking for reporters for our Press Bureau, after naming Pete Hirschfeld the new chief in December.
We have hired Thatcher Moats, currently the Montpelier reporter for the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, to be a Vermont Press Bureau reporter. Thatcher has been with the Times Argus since the summer of 2008, when he replaced Pete as the cops and courts and general assignment reporter for the Times Argus. He moved to the Montpelier position last spring, replacing Sue Allen.
He will be moving into his new duties this coming week, while keeping an eye on Montpelier (the city government, not the state) until we can get him replaced. And, the third position will be filled soon...
