Warren Webster
Patch Founder
"When we built Patch we wanted it to be a business that helps people and communities. That was a big part of our mission, our culture, and we even gave awards for it (which Liz won). Liz is a fantastic editor, journalist and manager who stood out because she worked tirelessly to make her team, her employees, the company, and the community better."
Tom Troncone
Managing Producer at NJ.com/Star-Ledger
"Liz is a strong leader in both the digital and print world, and was at the helm of one of the strongest regions in Patch. Liz is a friendly ear, the voice of reason, a seasoned leader.
She has vision and a passion for news, and her leadership during the Boston Marathon bombings and other major news events cemented her status as a top-flight news professional.
Liz has terrific ideas and adapts to constantly evolving situations with grace, aplomb, determination and savvy. She's been a joy to work alongside and I strongly recommend her.“I'm a testimonial.

"Liz Taurasi is one of the most accomplished digital journalists and newsroom managers I've had the privilege of working with and managing. She is driven by the need to inform the public and to accommodate the ever-changing face of the news media landscape. Liz doesn't let the changes phase her, she knows it's her job to take new technologies and leverage them to tell the story: The mission hasn't changed, just the tools. She is tough and fair with boundless energy. I would work with Liz again in an instant as she is a true leader and a great addition to any news organization."
Crystal Lauderdale-Masa
Director, Marketing and Communications at Florida Polytechnic University
"Liz is one of the most thorough, organized and effective editorial leaders I know. When it comes to content, she’s both a creative storyteller and a scientific strategist. She uses audience metrics, smart SEO, strong leadership and top-notch editing skills to deliver stories that grow not only audience reach but engagement as well. In my experience, Liz never drops the ball. How can that be? Liz is a thoughtful, meticulous planner. She not only keeps a Plan B in her back pocket, but usually a Plan C and a Plan D as well. So if breaking news happens or staffing shifts, Liz’ team doesn’t miss a beat thanks to her expert preparedness. On top of that, she has a positive attitude and a great sense of humor making her a pleasure to work with.
Rachel Fishman Feddersen
Digital GM at The Week and Mental Floss
"Liz is a star. In the time we worked together I saw her handle the most challenging of situations with boundless energy, and terrific insight and sophistication in both reporting and management of her far-flung team. Her team's coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings was peerless; their continuing coverage, day in and day out, of local news that mattered was equally stellar. Simply put, Liz was a joy to work with."
