I mostly cover courts for the Daily Record but love stories that uplift, showcase accomplishments and educate others.

#MerryChristmas. I'm leaving DR, much-loved paper, in January after 29 years. #LaurieParks, #JohnDangler. #MikeIzzo. I tried my best to care about victims I wrote about. Thank you, survivors, judges, friends. Thx for the opportunity to know such great people.

#dearfriend. #BobKarpPhotography. Bob Karp's last assignment at Morris County courthouse. A guy who makes every day better, will miss him enormously.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

One of the kindest, wittiest co-workers ever!

[RSeman @ AHS @RSemanAHS]

@PeggyWrightDR This is a loss for journalism in New Jersey. Peggy, I'm among those who feel very fortunate to have worked alongside you, and I'll always remember the days working with you in the courthouse bureau!

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

Thank you @IzzoTribune. You were my go-to guy on tons of subjects. I'll miss the job but talent abounds @northjersey and @dailyrecord.

[Michael Izzo @IzzoTribune]

@PeggyWrightDR I just saw this Peggy! This is so sad. Morris County will be so much worse off without you looking out for everyone.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

So neat! Both the promotions and the technology. https://t.co/xfj8FQ9lv4 via @dailyrecord

Amazing experiences captured @BobKarpDR

Journalists do not have to know each other. It's a shared cause.

Another essential New Jersey journalist bows out. Good for him, bad for us. - A farewell love note from columnist Mark Di Ionno https://t.co/bGG8J1TjBi

@AlbinaSportelli @BobKarpDR Thank you @AlbinaSportelli, for your great enthusiasm and instincts. I will miss you!

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

@MorrSussSports @MorrSussSports. Thank you for the very kind best wishes. I'll miss it and know I've had a career I truly loved. Thanks again!

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

I'm leaving DR, regretfully, in January, but many people got me through 30 years: #JoeRicca, #MikeIzzo, #BobKarp, Judges Stanton (now family), Critchley, Paul Armstrong. I wish I had a big house we could all gather in and yak.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

@wildstein @dailyrecord @wildstein. Thank you for the very kind words. Hope 2019 is great for you.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

Fun recalling challenges of being a reporter in pre-cell phone days. Found pay phones to call in stories about 1992 #MissAmerica results, and Roe v. Wade 20th anniversary in Wash. D.C. in '93.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

@CCMProud Hi, thank you. CCM is in wonderful hands with you there. You're warm-hearted, dedicated, and always made me feel appreciated when we spoke. I'm sure I'll see you again.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

@colleenodea @colleenodea. Thank you! I'll miss it tremendously.

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

#dearfriend. Wish I combed my hair before this picture. Looking forward to the friendship in the future of a lot of people I love!

[Robert Karp @BobKarpDR]

After 30 years, my last assignment w/@PeggyWrightDR at Morris County courthouse. Just one of the thousands of intense, emotional court proceedings we've covered together over the years. Her hunt for the truth & her empathy towards victims was unmatched. She'll be greatly missed!

[Peggy wright @PeggyWrightDR]

@HAppelt Thanks my friend. I will let you know where I work. I'm happy, thanks.
