Diane Mastrull
I am a Coverage Editor, editing stories to ensure they are accurate and provide the most complete and useful information to our audience. On the weekends, I direct coverage of breaking news and stories that show how we spend our Saturdays and Sundays, from lookalike contests in Rittenhouse Square to the Broad Street Run.
After 15 years of covering criminal and civil courts, county government, and the banking industry, I joined The Inquirer in 1997, first covering the casino industry and the Jersey Shore, then suburban development in the Pa. 'burbs.
Next, I covered the region's burgeoning small-business community before becoming an online producer, learning ways to better serve our online audiences as I also served as the newsroom source for chocolate from dishes always kept filled at my cubicle, as my late Aunt Phyl, our candy queen, would have wanted.
A Levittown native, I attended Walt Disney Elementary School and Penn State University, where I paid for my tuition and board by scooping ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. I remain an ice cream enthusiast. A resident of Center City, I'm in walking distance of some of the finest ice cream purveyors around. But you'll mostly find me running, as an annual participant of the Philly Half Marathon and the Broad Street Run, I always seem to be training.
