Cresson joins Sen. Chris Coons as digital media manager

Tacy Cresson, a Milford native and formerly an intern with the Cape Gazette, has joined the office of U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., as digital media manager with the senator's communications team in Delaware.

Cresson, recently of Wilbraham, Mass., is a graduate of Endicott College, earning a bachelor's degree in digital media and journalism. She served as editor-in-chief for the Endicott Observer and local chapter president for the Society of Professional Journalists, and received the Myra Anne Dettelbach Communications Scholarship.

Besides Cresson's time with the Cape Gazette, she completed an internship with The American Prospect, attended The New York Times Editors Workshop, and wrote copy and created social media content at Hampshire Marketing & Media.

An avid writer and photographer, her passion for photojournalism came from her late parents, Jim and Corinne Cresson. For several years, the couple operated the Long Neck-Back Bay News in Sussex County. Cresson said she inherited an eye for good photos from her father, a former Army photographer, Vietnam War veteran, and later-in-life journalist with the Cape Gazette.

Due to ongoing constraints of COVID-19 and evolving needs to communicate across a digital landscape, Cresson aims to enhance constituent access to information on federal resources, programs, grants, legislative updates, and casework assistance via videos, blogs, podcasts, digital newsletters, infographics, and online streaming and social media.

Tacy Cresson will work alongside Brendan Mackie, state press secretary, and can be reached at 302-573-6159 and tacy_cresson@coons.senate.gov.
