Kasia Pierzga
Geri Morgan,
Kasia has a passion for newspapers. She feels they are critical to the success of the American system of democracy, and a key driver for the local economy. “Your community newspaper is the most effective way for you to reach your local audience,” she says. Kasia was the owner and publisher of The Whidbey Examiner before she sold the paper to Sound Publishing and became publisher of all three Whidbey papers. She has a background in marketing, public relations and journalism, and when she’s not on the job she loves to spend time exploring Whidbey’s many beautiful trails with her dogs, Theo and Zephyr.
