Trish Vernon’s greatest accomplishment is surviving all the changes in the newspaper industry over her 36 years “with a clear conscience.” Editor and vice president of Cape Gazette Ltd. in Rehoboth Beach, she’s at the head of publishing both the newspaper and The Beach Paper, as well as capegazette.com. And she handles personnel issues. The secrets to her success and longevity, she says, are “dedicated work, endeavoring to see all sides of an issue, finding newsworthiness in every nook and cranny, and taking risks.”
