Joey is so good at celebrity interviews. He really knows his stuff and it shows. Color me impressed.

Joey wrote an article on the occasion of our 25th anniversary. It's an incredibly exciting time for us and as you can imagine, when our story was portrayed so accurately, it gave us a real measure of satisfaction. We are on a mission to make the world a more comfortable place for everyone and to have greed take a back seat to doing the right thing. Joey's piece helped us spread the word perfectly.

Joey DiGuglielmo gets straight to the heart of the matter in a way that makes clear the most relevant and poignant issues that any reader can grasp, while also allowing equally for a nuanced discussion of detail with relaxed candor. It was refreshing to have an interview aimed at a wide readership where I could talk specialist details without fear of losing the general interest.
Above all else, it was fun!

OK, that was the most thorough interview I've ever done.

As a reporter, he was always fair and accurate and never missed a deadline. As my right-hand man, I could count on him
to paginate pages, catch errors on proofs and make corrections. His work was always stellar. He was an editor’s dream —
he could work independently, but still communicate daily and be flexible.
Crystal Schelle
Supervisor 2000-2002
Outstanding work habits, including rock-solid reliability, excellent time-management and interviewing skills, and enthusiasm.
His ability to combine those traits with distinctive and delightful writing skills, the perseverance, objectivity and willingness to
question elected officials that's necessary to get beyond the surface of local government, and unfailing
cognizance of deadlines and the art elements of story packages helped make Joey one of the best I've worked with.

Joey is poised, smart, deadline-driven, ethical, organized, tenacious and tireless. ... I can't recommend him more highly.

Joey is a spark plug — he never seems rattled by anything. He just plugs along and keeps us on course.

An upbeat personality that gave the newsroom a positive atmosphere. His creativity inspired us all.

I didn't know what to expect when I sat down with Joey DiGuglielmo, but what happened was the
best kind of unexpected. Questions that came not from press releases but from the interviewer's own natural curiosity.
The result was the best, most intimate interview I've done in years.
