Robin Epley is the editor of the Fort Bragg Advocate-News and the Mendocino Beacon and previously worked as a staff reporter for the Chico Enterprise-Record. In 2019, while on staff at the Chico paper, Robin and her fellow reporters were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in Breaking News Reporting for their coverage of the 2018 Camp Fire, the most destructive and deadly wildfire in California history. Robin was also the creator of a podcast for the Chico-Enterprise Record called “Inhaled,” a five-part investigative series about the health problems caused by the state’s wildfires. In addition to her duties as editor of two newspapers, Robin is also the host of The Future of Journalism, a podcast that digs into the challenges that young journalists face during the first 10 years of their career.
