Bio
Jessica Van Sack-Downey
Editorial assistants are the unsung heroes of the Boston Herald, and among this group, Ben was tops. Reporters and editors threw all manner of tasks and assignments his way -- in addition to a slew of responsibilities that include manning the phone lines and organizing the paper flow of an intensely busy newsroom. Ben handled these responsibilities with ease and professionalism. His writing and reporting skills also proved to be far and above that of most aspiring journalists who begin this job straight out of college. Part of what makes Ben a promising journalist is his intense curiosity and passion for exploration. It seems like every time I talked to him he was jetting off to a new adventure, traveling to as many places as his budget would allow. Beyond his professional attributes, Ben is also a kind and thoughtful person who is a pleasure to be around. Bottom line: Ben has all the makings of a future star and is sure to be an asset to any organization he joins.
