Paper adds a reporter to D.C. bureau
Posted on Friday, September 5, 2008
Jane Fullerton has been hired as a part-time reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Washington, D. C., bureau, a move Managing Editor David Bailey said was important for Arkansas readers.
“She knows Washington, national politics and Arkansas,” Bailey said. “We’re extremely happy — and fortunate — to be able to add Jane to our D. C. bureau when other news organizations are closing theirs.” Fullerton, 45, graduated from the University of Missouri in 1985 and has been in the newspaper business for more than two decades, starting out as a general news reporter at the Springfield News Leader in her home state of Missouri.
In 1990, Fullerton was hired as a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat. She became Washington bureau chief of the Democrat-Gazette in 1998 and stayed until 2000.
She has since worked as Washington bureau chief for the Farm Journal and as a freelance writer.
Fullerton lives in northern Virginia with her husband, Terry Lemons, who is national communications director for the Internal Revenue Service. They have two children, Benjamin, 13, and Sarah, 9.
