The 45-year-old California native will oversee the news operations of the Mercury News and the East Bay Times. She replaces Bert Robinson, who is leaving the news organization after 40 years.
As a 9-year-old girl, Sarah Dussault spent summer breaks running around The Mercury News newsroom where her father, a features copy editor, would hand her plastic cylinders stuffed with marked-up news pages to send with a whoosh into pneumatic tubes to the building’s type shop.Now, three decades later, Dussault, 45, has been named Senior Editor of the Bay Area News Group, overseeing the newsrooms of The Mercury News and East Bay Times.
For Dussault to earn the top job, ”it’s absolutely surreal,” she said. “I’m just very proud and honored to be trusted in this role. These are great newspapers with a tradition of journalism excellence that we will continue.” Dussault, a San Jose State graduate, got her start in journalism as a photographer and spent her early career at the Brownsville Herald in Texas, the Advocate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Napa Valley Register. After 11 years at the South Florida Sun Sentinel, where she rose to director of photography, Dussault returned to San Jose in 2016 to join the Bay Area News Group.
Bay Area News Group Senior Editor Sarah Dussault discusses the next day’s paper in a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023, in the newsroom of The Mercury News in downtown San Jose. “He has been a strong force at this newsroom for the last 40 years and his tenacity has brought us so many stories that shined a light on problems in our community and gotten them fixed,” she said.
