Bloomsburg Writer

M.J. Mahon joined the news staff as a photographer after graduating from Western Kentucky University in 2001. In 2021, she traded her camera for a laptop and now covers the Town of Bloomsburg and surrounding communities. She probably drinks too much coffee and will tell you all about her dogs, Porter and Wicket — even if you didn't ask.
