“Joel is the glue that holds our editorial team together. As soon as he joined us, everything clicked into place: More content was published each day thanks to his fast but thorough top editing, stories were stronger and error-free, headlines were the best I’ve ever seen (talk about a master of puns!), but most importantly, the writers were learning and improving, as well. When Joel edits, he doesn’t just rip stories apart and redo them for the sake of speed like many digital editors do — instead he explains his edits and suggestions to the writers so they can learn from it. That quality alone makes him one of the best editors I’ve ever worked with (his enviable grammar chops certainly don’t hurt, either), but then you add his charisma and contagious optimism to the mix and realize you’ve hit the managerial jackpot. Everyone — even people who work outside of editorial — look forward to Joel’s inspiring morning messages on Slack, and the team leaves any meeting he leads with smiles on their faces. Joel is an incredibly talented, positive person with a knack for helping and teaching everyone around him, and I am so grateful to have had the chance to work with him.”
