For two decades, Jennifer Dokes helped shape and express the institutional voice of The Arizona Republic, the state’s largest newspaper.  Jennifer is a thoughtful observer of events and an elegant writer, but what really won the admiration of her colleagues is a moral compass that points true north. There’s a reason The Arizona Republic entrusted her with this large role for so many years. She brought competence and conscience to the Editorial Board, a decency that made our newspaper better.”
