The Rio Grande Chapter is delighted to welcome Taos resident and news veteran Rick Romancito to not only the chapter but to our board…
Rick brings a wealth of experience to all of us in the chapter. He’s a 20-year plus veteran of The Taos News during which he covered a variety of beats before finally settling in as editor of Tempo, the paper’s arts and entertainment magazine. His experience as a fine artist, photographer, actor and filmmaker has served him well in his job, one he still considers the best in Northern New Mexico. In addition to putting out the weekly Tempo magazine, he also shoots, edits and composes some music for the short videos the newspaper posts on its website at www.taosnews.com. He’s a strong proponent of multimedia in journalism and was recently quoted as saying “I believe we all must be trained in using every aspect of news gathering at our command, whether it be words, pictures or video.”
Rick is of Taos and Zuni Pueblo Indian heritage, married to web wizard Melody Romancito and is father to a very talented 15 year old daughter named Ella. Welcome aboard, Rick!
