Stephanie McFeeters is the deputy editor of The Maine Monitor.

She joined the newsroom after spending eight years at Harper’s Magazine because she wanted to return to local news in New England, where she got her start as a reporter, and to do so at an organization that was thinking critically about the kinds of stories it was telling and why.

She works with The Monitor's journalists to ensure their stories are nuanced, accurate and fair, and relies on her experience as a fact checker to accomplish this. She lives in Portland.
