“Stephanie is a consummate professional, a talented journalist and, perhaps most importantly, someone who can connect with people of all different stripes and backgrounds. She puts people at ease, which is the hallmark of a good reporter; and she tells their stories fairly, accurately and in a compelling way, which is the hallmark of a good writer. Stephanie is the whole package.”
– Peter Chianca, Editor in Chief, North Unit, GateHouse Media New England
“It was a pleasure to work with Stephanie while she was at GateHouse Media New England. As the editor of the Hamilton Wenham Chronicle she was energetic, well organized, and always looking for the next story. Above all, her shining personality is the key to her success. I worked with Stephanie on many stories but I will always remember our NEPA award winning story on the ‘Red Tide.’”
– Kirk Williamson, Multimedia Editor / Photo Editor at GateHouse Media New England
“Stephanie Silverstein has my highest regard and my appreciation for her honesty, integrity and fairness in journalism. During the years I knew her as editor of the Hamilton-Wenham Chronicle she displayed tiredless devotion to reporting and publishing accurate and important and interesting news in our two towns. As a charter member of Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility, our group frequently sent letters-to-the-editor that she was thoughtful enough to post in the paper…all the while also sharing opposing viewpoints. Fair and balanced is a true description of how Stephanie served as editor of our local paper. She is a true professional.”

“Working with Stephanie while at GateHouse Media was wonderful and helpful. She had previously covered my beat at the paper, so she was able to provide great insight and advice on how to be a successful reporter through her own experience. She was able to successfully manage her own town’s paper, even though she had a bare-bones staff, while also offering to help me adjust to my new role covering city government. She is a hard worker with a lot of great ideas to offer, and she is also a fun and interesting coworker who I enjoyed being around. I highly recommend her.”
– Britt Braudo, Production Associate at Forrester Research, former news reporter at GateHouse Media New England
“As a young writer with my first reporting job out of college, Stephanie provided excellent feedback and support for me. She helped me to improve my writing as well as navigate the nuances of local reporting, and did an exceptional job holding me accountable to my deadlines and her standards. I learned a great deal as a stringer for her, and value highly my time at the Hamilton-Wenham Chronicle under her.”
