Link editor Brianne Warner announced Tuesday:

I am very happy to announce two new roles at Link.

Stephanie Bernat will be Link’s first managing editor, leading the newsroom each night on deadline.

Steph has been a copy editor with Link since its launch in October 2006, gracing us with her skillful hand at language, thoughtful demeanor and constant encouragement. She has also served as our internship coordinator, finding excellent talent locally and nationally, including one intern who has joined Link full time.

Before she came to Link, Steph was the local news editor, page one designer, health editor and reporter at The Indiana Gazette in Indiana, Pa. She also served as the editorial adviser of The Penn student newspaper at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Sara Steil will be Link’s first special sections editor, heading up such editions as the Link college guide, gift guide and whatever we dream up next.

Sara is a fabulous planner who can coordinate numerous players on a tight deadline. She oversaw Link’s first special section, our college guide, managing it through constantly changing ads and deadlines and creating a terrific guide. Sara will also to continue to oversee the Life section in Link, finding cool stories and planning out our coverage. Sara has been a copy editor with Link since its launch.

Before she came to Link, Sara was the night news editor at the Culpeper Star-Exponent. She has also worked as a copy editor at the Daily Press and the Anderson Independent-Mail.

Both Steph and Sara have proved invaluable to the newsroom. I can’t wait to see what they do next in their new roles. Please join me in congratulating them.

Congratulations to both Sara and Stephanie!
