Jordan Vallone is the new East Meadow Herald editor

She has spent the past two years leading news coverage in the neighboring communities of Bellmore and Merrick, and now Jordan Vallone is bringing her journalistic talents to East Meadow.

Jordan is the new editor of the East Meadow Herald, succeeding Mallory Wilson, who has moved on to cover politics and breaking news with The Washington Times in the nation’s capital.

Jordan joined Herald Community Newspapers in June 2021, earning a promotion to senior reporter for the Bellmore Herald and Merrick Herald within six months. Earlier this year, she was promoted again to editor of the publications, which she will continue to do along with her work in East Meadow.

Jordan is a 2021 graduate summa cum laude from the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, where she majored in global and electronic journalism, as well as communication and media studies. She was the editor-in-chief of The Campus Slate, a student-produced news magazine at the school.

As she gets a chance to say hello to the community, Jordan wants to hear from you.
