Ex-Bergen Record editorial page editor now working for Senate Democrats
Bruce Lowry, the highly-regarded former editorial page editor for The (Bergen) Record, has joined Senate President Steve Sweeny and the New Jersey Senate Democratic Majority Office communications team.
Lowry had spent 15 years at the Bergen Record until April, when Gannett layoffs obliterated the editorial page.
Bruce has been recruited to serve as a consultant in our communications office at a demanding time for the Senate Majority, said Richard McGrath, a spokesman for the Senate Democrats. He has a wealth of experience as a reporter and editor, hes a skilled writer who knows New Jersey, and his subtle Louisiana accent is a distinctive addition to staff discussions. We are fortunate to have him.
Lowry has put considerable distance about seventh months between his journalism career and his acceptance of a job with the legislature. He was not seeking a new job at the time he was working for Gannett.
