Seven Days has hired VTDigger’s Alicia Freese to join its expanding news team, the Burlington weekly announced Thursday. 

According to Seven Days coeditor Jeff Good, Freese will join Kevin J. Kelley in covering the city of Burlington and will “fan out into the neighborhoods and explore the issues of health care and higher education as they play out in the lives of people who live and work in and around the city.”

A Tunbridge native and 2010 graduate of Pomona College, Freese joined VTDigger as an editorial assistant in September 2012, before working her way up to full-time reporter. During the 2013 legislative session, Freese covered education and human services in the Statehouse. She has since covered statewide politics and health care.

  1. Good to see that you guys have figured out the secret of making a living covering the news. Gannet seems to think the method is to lay off everybody.
