Success Stories: Valley Mirror  

Scoring a Success for the Local Community   

 .

Marilyn Schiavoni had not intended to run a newspaper, but the readers and advertisers of the Valley Mirror are certainly happy that she does. 

Marilyn's mission is to keep one of the area's only independent voices alive with continued coverage of the Steel Valley area, West Mifflin, Lincoln Place and Woodland Hills.  It hasn't been an easy road. She credits her work with Pittsburgh's SCORE chapter and her SCORE Mentor, Bob DiRubbo as being key to her success.

Marilyn isn't shy about advocating that everyone take advantage of SCORE's free mentorship program. "Go directly to SCORE. SCORE's been the most helpful to me... I've called women's organizations, I've spoken with people at Duquesne [University] - who were very helpful - but when you get down to actually getting the information that you need, SCORE has by far been the most helpful."
