"I've learned from some of the strongest journalists and editors in Wisconsin. I'm ready to help usher in the next generation of local news readers for VMG, help our journalists better serve their communities, and foster growth and innovation in an ever-evolving digital landscape."

In her new role, Dequaine-Jerabek will oversee all editorial aspects of VMG's publication websites and collaborate with team leaders to devise and implement social media and SEO traffic initiatives for audience growth and content partnerships.
