Nancy Visser Email & Phone Number

Dallas/Fort Worth Area

My tenure at The Dallas Morning News began as an editor on the national desk, during which time I was on the team that covered the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the launch of the Iraq War. The desk handled copy from bureaus on the West Coast and in Washington. I was the last national editor the paper had before the role was eliminated during a newsroom.

Denver

My year at The Rocky included working on the team that covered the Columbine school shooting.

Jacksonville, Florida Area

I worked on the metro desk at the Times-Union and supervised the police and court reporters as well as those covering other news beats in Jacksonville. In my final year at the Times-Union, I was features editor tasked with giving the features section a harder news edge.

I started at the Star-Telegram as a cops reporter for the evening edition, getting to work at 5 a.m. and filing my first story by 7 a.m. I covered social services and AIDS before becoming an editor. I helped launch a group of neighborhood news sections before joining the state desk, where I handled our freelance correspondents in surrounding rural counties.
