Rick Farrant, the Journal Gazette's award-winning features writer, is leaving the paper. Next week, he'll start a new job as Director of Marketing and Communication for the United Way.
"I'll miss the writing," said Farrant, "though I will be doing some on the side. I'm working on a book and I might do some freelance work as well."
Farrant said he's excited to help spread the word about the work of the United Way. "It's not all about the annual campaign, though that's what a lot of people focus on."
He also said he expects the job to be a good fit. "Of the 33 years I've been [in journalism], a lot of that has been tied to social causes."
