Hello, and welcome to my profile at Copetti News! I’m Zach Pintaro, Editor-in-Chief of this forward-thinking platform dedicated to delivering impactful journalism in the digital age. I’m excited to share my story and the principles that guide our newsroom.
Roots in the Southwest
Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I grew up surrounded by the stunning desert landscapes and rich cultural tapestry of the American Southwest. This diverse environment shaped my worldview and taught me the importance of storytelling from multiple perspectives. Today, I’m based in Phoenix, Arizona, where the rapidly growing tech scene and dynamic cultural landscape provide the perfect setting for leading Copetti News into the future.
Digital Journalism Pioneer
My passion for journalism emerged during the dawn of the digital era. While studying for my Bachelor’s degree in Digital Media from Arizona State University’s School of Journalism, I recognized the transformative potential of technology in news delivery. This interest led me to pursue a Master’s in Digital Innovation and Media Strategy from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
The Digital Revolution
Throughout my career, I’ve been at the forefront of digital journalism innovation. Before joining Copetti News, I led digital transformation initiatives at several major news organizations, helping them adapt to the changing media landscape while maintaining the highest standards of journalistic integrity.
Life Beyond the Screen
When I’m not immersed in the fast-paced world of digital news, you’ll find me exploring the Southwest’s remarkable wilderness. Rock climbing in Sedona and mountain biking through desert trails help me maintain perspective and fuel my creative energy. I’m also an enthusiastic amateur photographer, capturing the raw beauty of the Southwest’s landscapes and urban scenes.
Vision for Copetti News
As Editor-in-Chief, my mission is to bridge the gap between traditional journalistic values and modern digital innovation. I believe in leveraging technology to enhance storytelling while maintaining an unwavering commitment to accuracy, fairness, and depth in reporting. Under my leadership, Copetti News strives to be at the cutting edge of digital journalism while upholding the fundamental principles that make journalism essential to democracy.
Innovation and Integrity
I’m particularly passionate about developing new ways to engage readers through interactive storytelling, data visualization, and multimedia content. However, I firmly believe that technological innovation must always serve the core purpose of journalism: informing and empowering our readers with accurate, meaningful reporting.
Community Engagement
I believe strongly in the power of community dialogue and encourage readers to connect with me through social media or our digital platforms. Your feedback helps shape our coverage and ensures we’re meeting the needs of our diverse readership. Let’s work together to build a more informed and connected digital community.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey and vision. It’s a privilege to lead Copetti News during this exciting time in journalism’s evolution. I look forward to continuing our mission of delivering innovative, impactful news coverage that serves our digital-first audience while honoring the timeless principles of quality journalism.
