UZona Record Welcomes Experienced Editor Bob Hembree
The UZona Record is pleased to introduce Bob Hembree as the newest member of our editorial team. Bob brings a wealth of journalism experience and a deep commitment to community news, and we are excited for him to share his perspective with our readers.
Bob Hembree is already a familiar name in the regional press, known for his work with both the Lake Powell Chronicle and the Arizona Silver Belt. His experience covering diverse issues across our communities makes him a valuable asset to our paper and a knowledgeable voice for the region.
"I look forward to working with the UZona Record and getting to know the community,” said Hembree. “I grew up in a small town, and I love working in small towns. I believe honest, accurate journalism is more important now than ever. For me, integrity is paramount. I hope to earn the community’s trust by practicing what I preach.”
Bob’s first feature article, "Colorado City/Hildale Police Department Achieves Arizona State Accreditation," is included in this week's edition. This piece marks the beginning of what we expect will be insightful and impactful reporting on the topics that directly affect our readers.
Please join us in giving Bob a warm welcome! We believe his expertise will enhance our coverage and continue our tradition of providing high-quality, relevant local journalism.
