Dan McDonough, Jr.
Publisher

As one of the founders of Elauwit Media, Dan was the architect for the acquisition of the Staten Island Register, the first of Elauwit’s original newspapers, in August 2002. A year after Elauwit’s first acquisition, Dan had lead a management team that launched three additional publications and grew revenues by more than 40 percent.

In the company's second year, Dan organized the sale of the New York City publishing assets to Staten Island Media Group in an equity deal that allowed for additional acquisitions and substantial circulation growth in the market.

Before taking the entrepreneurial route, Dan worked in the news operations of some of the world's largest news companies — including Dow Jones and Gannett. He has won numerous regional and national journalism awards, and his editorials have appeared in The Masthead — the journal of the National Conference of Editorial Writers.

Dan is the Co-Chairman and Chief Executive of Elauwit, Elauwit Media's parent company, where he directs overall corporate strategy. He also serves as Managing Director of McDonough Media, LLC, a consultancy serving the publishing and investment banking industries.
