After years working her way through the editorial ranks at the Steamboat Pilot & Today, Nicole Miller is ready for her next challenge: taking the helm as editor of the Summit Daily News.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m equal parts excited to start at the Summit Daily, and sad to leave the Steamboat Pilot,\u201d said Miller, who\u2019s finishing her term as the Pilot\u2019s digital engagement editor. \u201cBut I think anytime you have something new it\u2019s exciting, and it reinvigorates you in your work. Being in a different newsroom and a different community, I\u2019m obviously going to have a lot to learn, and that\u2019s one of the things that excites me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move comes shortly after long-time editor Ben Trollinger announced he\u2019d be leaving the post to become the editor of Acres U.S.A. \u2014 the nation\u2019s premier publication related to production-scale organic and sustainable farming.<\/p>\n

While the job is new, Miller has been a newswoman for years. She said she first found an interest in journalism in high school after her mother suggested she take a class. A Colorado native, she later enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in news editorial from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, with an emphasis in environmental studies.<\/p>\n

After graduation, Miller moved to Steamboat Springs and began as a copy editor at the Pilot & Today. From there, she worked her way up to page designer, copy desk chief, news editor and eventually assistant editor. She took home a Best in Show award for page design during the Colorado Press Association awards in 2011.<\/p>\n

In 2013, she left the paper to take a role in the marketing department at Steamboat Resort, handling social media and public relations. After a five-year break from the journalism world, she returned to the Steamboat Pilot last year to lead the paper\u2019s digital strategy and oversee the outlet\u2019s social media channels and website.<\/p>\n

Following Trollinger\u2019s announced departure, Miller immediately became a top candidate to replace him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always thought really highly of Nicole, and I really enjoyed working with her in Steamboat,\u201d said Meg Boyer, publisher of the Summit Daily and a former advertising director and news editor for the Steamboat Pilot. \u201cShe has a good vision for the Summit Daily News, and where we can go from here. I think the Summit Daily has taken some really huge steps forward under Ben\u2019s leadership, and I think Nicole will keep that momentum going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing up just a couple hours away, Miller said she already has a familiarity with Summit County \u2014 particularly the ski slopes \u2014 and that she believes her experience in the mountains will help her adjust more quickly to her new role.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving spent the last 13 years in Steamboat Springs and being a Colorado native, I\u2019m obviously familiar with mountain communities, the lifestyle that we live and the types of stories our readers are interested in,\u201d said Miller.<\/p>\n

Outside of work, Miller said she enjoys skiing, hiking, biking and hanging out with her two dogs, Cotija and Pico. A foodie of sorts, she\u2019s also excited to jump into the county\u2019s culinary scene, checking out different restaurants and bars to find her favorites.<\/p>\n

Miller will officially take over as editor on May 28. As she adjusts to her new settings, Miller said she encourages the Summit Daily\u2019s readers to get in touch. She can be reached at NMiller@summitdaily.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously going to be brand new to this community, so anything that Summit County residents and the Summit Daily\u2019s readers can do to help me find my way is going to be really helpful,\u201d said Miller.<\/p>\n
