Andrew Martins has been named the managing editor of the Hillsborough Beacon. He begins his new role with this week’s edition of the Beacon.
“We are pleased to welcome Andrew Martins to Hillsborough and central New Jersey to continue his journalism career,” said Aubrey Huston, editor of Packet Media, the Beacon’s parent company. “We look forward to continuing the fine work that Gene Robbins did as managing editor.”
Mr. Robbins decided to step down to “recharge, explore and reassess before embarking on the next adventure.”

He is a graduate of Ramapo College and was news editor of The Ramapo News, the college’s weekly newspaper, for two years.
