Publisher’s note
I’ll be taking over as editor of the Fluvanna Review starting with our Aug. 22 paper. Christina Dimeo, who has been the editor since August 2016, will be leaving to attend law school. We wish her well.
She started as a reporter for the paper in March of 2013. She broke numerous stories and won many awards but mainly she informed residents about their county in clear, strong prose and with accuracy and depth. Even as editor she continued to cover the Board of Supervisors while she oversaw our news coverage both in print and online. She made the paper, and our website, better. Law’s gain is journalism’s loss.
Our reporter, Heather Michon, will be covering the Board of Supervisors beat.
I’m looking forward to jumping in as editor again. Don’t hesitate to call or email me with ideas, comments or criticisms. I’ve been in the news business for a long time and I thrive on the give and take of journalism.

Editor’s note
After working on over 300 editions since I started at the Fluvanna Review, this is my last paper.
It feels strange to give up my intimate involvement with the newspaper, and to know that from now on I’ll see it for the first time when it arrives at my home.
I hope to continue the relationships I built over these six and a half years with people across the county who care about our community and want to see it thrive.
Many years ago a neighbor told me about a roundabout slated for development at one of the busiest intersections of my short commute to work. I listened eagerly, wishing I knew as much about the county as he clearly did. Finally I asked where he had learned all his information.
“I read the paper,” he said simply.
I went home and found my copy of the Fluvanna Review. I’m glad I did.
Please support your hometown newspaper.
– Christina Dimeo
