Ana Borruto officially promoted to editor

Her title may have changed, but her commitment to the Franklin Square and Elmont communities have not.

Ana Borruto was promoted to editor this week of the Franklin Square/Elmont Herald, a paper she had been leading since last November.

“What can we say about Ana, except she has done nothing but impress all of us — readers and the newsroom alike — since she joined our team late last year,” said Michael Hinman, executive editor of Herald Community Newspapers. “While her actual work won’t change, Ana’s promotion to editor was very much deserved, and we are proud to further solidify her position on our team. We know she’ll continue to tirelessly work to tell the stories waiting to be shared in both Franklin Square and Elmont.”

Ana earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Ithaca College, where she was a part of the award-winning college staff at The Ithacan. She was a staff writer for Buzzsaw Magazine and did freelance reporting for the Greater Long Island Media Group. Ana also spent the late spring of 2018 working with Urbino Now in Italy as part of a four-week multimedia journalism program, focused on a feature about the board gaming culture in the small city of Urbino.
